Online & New Capital Campus
You state a purpose, the data used, the right a person could exercise, and a memo a product or HR team can follow. Imperial University in Cairo teaches this award fully online. The 36 credit hours on this page are the sum of the modules listed in the curriculum, so the transcript and the prospectus describe the same load. MA Data Protection Practice is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 4 Semesters (2 Years), and the credit total is 36. Students move from Purpose through Purpose; Data and Access; A Right in Practice; Privacy Memo, and finish on Privacy Memo. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students define a measurable question, fit a method that can be checked, and report where it fails. Reading is a dataset description, a methods note, and one published evaluation. The artefact a marker expects is a project note with the question, the method, the result, and the limitation. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: State a purpose narrowly List the data and who sees it Describe one individual right in practice Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
Assessment is coursework on each taught module plus the final project named in the curriculum. Results are recorded as credit hours against each module. Fees are the figures published by Imperial University in Cairo for this award; this page does not add a separate tuition claim.

| DPP501 | Purpose Purpose (DPP501) is a 9-credit course on MA Data Protection Practice, with 90 notional learning hours. By the end, students can define a measurable question, fit a method that can be checked, and report where it fails, using Purpose as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a dataset description, a methods note, and one published evaluation. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a project note with the question, the method, the result, and the limitation. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.

| DPP504 | Privacy Memo Privacy Memo (DPP504) is a 9-credit course on MA Data Protection Practice, with 90 notional learning hours. By the end, students can map one named system, write a threat model, and specify the controls that would stop the most likely path, using Privacy Memo as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses control catalogues, incident write-ups, and a short technical standard. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a defensive design with a test plan and a statement of residual risk. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.
