Prevent and prosecute digital crime by shaping your IT skills for a connected business world that craves your expertise.
You'll study twin, linked disciplines in this Master's: cyber security – protecting data and systems from cyber attack, and forensic information technology – detecting and collecting digital evidence of criminal activity. You'll explore methods used by hackers and how to prevent or combat them. You'll also learn the procedures to follow after an attack and how to present this information to investigators or court officials.
In our computer labs and forensic facilities, you'll infect a virtual machine with a virus of your own, overcome anti-forensic tools that try to hide evidence of a crime, and make a mock arrest of a cybercriminal. You'll dig into cryptography, hacking and formal computer languages, such as Linux.
When you graduate, you'll be set to enter a sector with a massive need for trained cyber security and forensic information technology professionals. UK government figures from 2022 show that 50% of businesses acknowledge having a skills gap in cyber security and forensics, which you'll be ideally placed to fill.
