Build your undergraduate degree-level knowledge of cyber security and digital forensics. This master's course will help to prepare you for a career across these intricate disciplines.
As part of this course, you’ll:
Develop your expertise
You’ll gain specialist knowledge in challenging areas within digital forensics, such as image and video forensic investigations. In security areas, you’ll obtain knowledge and expertise in software security exploitation development and the analysis and implementation of security mechanisms to defend and analyse systems.
Research study
This course will also develop your knowledge in research practices and advanced scholarship as well as project development and management. The specialisation you’ll gain through taught modules will be further developed through a research or practical based master’s dissertation project.
Practical learning
This is a hands-on subject area and it’s important to gain practical experience; practical exercises will allow you to implement your theoretical learning and see how it relates to industry. Theory alone would be unlikely to enable you to achieve successful employment in this field.
Cyber security online
If you don’t have prior degree-level knowledge of cyber security or digital forensics, we offer the MSc Cyber Security distance learning course. This master’s will boost your existing computing knowledge with an additional focus on cyber security.
