This new course concentrates on the increasingly-important area of the use of computers and allied technology in crime and the investigation of crime.

During an investigation of many digital evidence sources, it is necessary to develop new methods and tools for the recovery and analysis of data. This course will equip you with an understanding of the principles of evidential data recovery and analysis.

You will carry out: an in-depth study of the software production methods and standards required to produce solutions which can stand up to rigorous scrutiny in a legal context; a range of analytical work in computing and science laboratories; and practical work in our on-campus Crime Scene House Laboratory.

Modules include Advanced Java Programming, Computer Forensics, Advanced Data Recovery & Analysis, Computer & Network Security and Legal Issues & Evidence Reporting.

This course is shared with the School of Science and Technology, who are responsible for administration and admissions.
