Why study cyber security and digital forensics?
Cybercrime is on the increase and set to keep growing as technology becomes more widespread.

High-level security breaches have led government, public services and corporations to dedicate more resources to computer security.

At the same time, digital forensics is playing an increasingly important role in uncovering evidence for law enforcement and private investigations alike.

Recognising the urgency of this threat, the UK government has highlighted an urgent need for skilled graduates in forensic computing.
