The Computer Science Department of the University of Crete announces with pleasure that Cisco Systems is sponsoring 10 scholarships for students of the Computer Science Department of the University of Crete to obtain the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) certification. The CCNA certification is a popular certification provided by Cisco Systems, aiming to recognize the knowledge and skills of IT professionals in the field of networks. The “University of Crete CCNA Scholarships” program covers the cost of the exam and provides access to the Cisco U. eLearning platform for CCNA certification preparation.  

It should be noted that Cisco Systems, a prominent global provider of IT and networking solutions, has recently established a presence at the Science and Technology Park of Crete (STEPC) and has already hired graduates from the University of Crete’s Computer Science Department.

The General Assembly of the Department decided to allocate six scholarships to undergraduate students and four to graduate students, based on their performance in related courses. The committee overseeing the process includes Professors Xenofontas Dimitropoulos, Maria Papadopouli, and Polyvios Pratikakis.
