MASTER OF SCIENCE CYBER SECURITY AND FORENSIC INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Prevent and prosecute digital crime, by shaping your information technology (IT) skills for a connected business world that craves your expertise.
You will study twin, linked disciplines on this Master's Degree programme: Cyber Security – protecting data and systems from cyberattacks, and Forensic Information Technology – detecting and collecting digital evidence of criminal activity. You will explore methods used by hackers and how to prevent or combat them. You will also learn the procedures to follow after an attack and how to present this information to investigators or court officials.
In our computer labs, you will infect a virtual machine with a virus of your own, overcome anti-forensic tools that try to hide evidence of crime and make a mock arrest of a cybercriminal. You will dig into cryptography, hacking and operating systems such as Linux.
When you graduate, you will be set to enter a sector with a massive need for trained cyber security and forensic IT professionals. Having pursued twin disciplines within the skills gap, you may be eligible for roles in preventing digital crime, or investigating and prosecuting those who commit it.
