Course programme

Computer Forensics and Security are interesting, dynamic and growing areas of Computing. As cybercrime continues to rise, so too does the need for computing professionals to lead the fight against it. Computer Security involves (amongst other things) protecting computer systems from malicious attacks, human error, and exploitation of vulnerabilities. This includes utilising an ethical hacking approach to highlight security vulnerabilities so that they can be fixed or mitigated. Computer Forensics involves recovering intelligence and evidence from digital devices for the purposes of remediation, litigation and/or prosecution.. The aim of the Computer Forensics and Security programme is to equip students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to enter these exciting areas of Computing. The School of Law, Criminal Justice and Computing, where this programme is housed and taught, have close links with the College of Policing and Europol and many of our students have gone on to successful careers in the Computer Forensics and Computer Security industries. The school uses popular industry standard software and systems so that graduates have an immediate productive impact when they begin their careers.
