BSc Hons Forensic Computing
http://www.docm.mmu.ac.uk/undergraduate/details/?courses_id=7050&crses=computing
Course length
3 years or 4 years sandwich
Course description
You will gain a broad understanding of the phases of a forensic investigation and of computing in general.
Extensive group work is used to develop your ability to think logically and use your initiative to critically analyse problems in the forensic domain.
In Year 1 you will study a core set of skills common to all our computing courses which includes programming, multimedia and internet development, information systems and databases, computer hardware and fundamentals, with some related computing mathematics. You will learn a particular style of programming so that you can learn similar languages without further formal teaching.
In Year 2 you will deepen your knowledge of computer networks and operating systems and you will study specialist material about file-based and internet-based forensics. Additionally, a mini-dissertation will be undertaken about forensic computing. If you opt for the four year sandwich route your third year will be spent on placement.
In Year 3 (or Year 4 of the sandwich route) you will complete a forensic computing project. This is a large, independent piece of work which allows you to pursue personal research interests and to apply your knowledge to a realistic application. You will also study network-based forensics, information and network security and choose further units which enable you to match your studies to your interest.
