Course Overview

This programme is specifically designed to provide students with:

  • The ability to critically evaluate design paradigms, languages, algorithms, and techniques used to perform advanced digital forensics investigation and incident response.
  • The ability to evaluate and respond to opportunities for developing and exploiting new technologies with digital forensics methods and tools.

What You Will Study?

A broader range of skills will be learned, in which students will be involved in designing and implementing software, devising new ways to use computers, and developing effective ways to solve computing problems. It spans a wide range, from theoretical and algorithmic foundations to cutting-edge developments in all areas of computing. Successful professionals with a degree in computer science are flexible in performing a range of computing tasks, and extend theories and practice in every area of computing. In the second year, the core modules take development skills to the next level and deepen the understanding of platform technology, while specialised modules will allow them to go further into advanced forensic methods, ethical hacking and incident response.
