Like many who have posted on this topic I have trained at Cranfield and in fact am about to commence the Msc this February. I would agree that the training given at Cranfield is first rate. As far as an MSc in computer forensics goes the MSc at Cranfield is well renowned in the community its high standards for training and requirements for admission to the MSc. Many will say an MSc is an MSc but there are those in the community that will tell you an MSc from Cranfield carries a lot more kudos, especially where employment is considered.
As far as fee's go, it does not cost anywhere near £15,000. It is at least around half that now. Although you do have to consider accommodation costs for the modules you are required to attend.
I have looked at many of the MSc programs being offered and there are quite a few out their now, but a lot of them are or were just computer based programs with a computer forensics module thrown in. You need to look at all the modules being offered before making a decision. The price should not be the main motivator in choice.
It's worth having another look at Cranfield - the MSc course is kept updated with some of the older modules being dropped and new ones created. The prices have revised downwards to be much more competitive with other courses too. I believe you can do the full three years for around 7~8 thou now.
Cheers,

It absolutely is worth every penny. It's a six week course crammed into two weeks residential course. The lecturers are among the best in their field, former Police Detectives that we at the very beginnings of Computer Forensics.
The venue was at the Defense Academy in Shrivenham and I must say that it was a fantastic site with students from GCHQ, Military, Law Enforcement and people like myself from the commercial sector.
After two weeks of long hours you need a few months to fully absorb what you have learnt but I don't think you could have wanted more from a superb course,

I have the feeling that 9 years after the (quoted) last before yours post, the course is somehow different … or you are talking of *something else*.

Not very consistent but still a sudden messages of "Cranfield is the best there is". P
Just as a further note - it should be considered that a lot of people ( myself included ) who went to Cranfield studied under Brian Jenkinson and Tony Sammes who had created the course.
They left Cranfield for DeMontfort some years back where there is also a distance learning MSc in Forensic Computing …
I can't comment on the course now, but I do know that it was largely the knowledge and skill of the gentlemen above that made the course what it was then.

As far as I'm aware, Brian and Tony have now left DeMontfort as well after the universitydecided to stop running the course.

I believe it is just you 😯 , the posts on this thread seem to me (if not all, at least most) perfectly legit/honest/not-coming-from-the-marketing-department-of- Cranfield.
What is surprising/queer to me is that everyone seems to be talking of different courses (besides different periods/different professors which is understandable in thirteen years or so).
This vagueness is IMHO desthpicable[1], particularly if coming from digital investigators, i.e. people that - by education and by trade - should have exactness and accuracy among their first values.
