Course description

The first year provides a general grounding in fundamental computing skills and introduces you to the use of standard software tools (e.g. Encase) whose use in forensic investigation is recognised by UK courts. In the following years you will deepen your knowledge and skills required for the investigation, evidence gathering and forensic analysis of that evidence from computer systems as well as understanding the legal context and the role of expert witness testimony.

You will study some related areas of computer security to provide a fuller context to your forensic computing studies. You will also extend your underpinning knowledge of computer networks and the hardware and system software of computer systems.
