Computer Science with Security and Forensics

About this course

Computer science with security and forensics is a programme that combines the rigorous foundations of computing with a specialist focus on two of the most practically significant areas in the contemporary technology landscape. Cybersecurity addresses the protection of computer systems, networks, and data against attack, misuse, and unauthorised access, a challenge that has grown enormously as economies and critical infrastructure have become dependent on digital systems. Digital forensics applies computing methods to the investigation of crime, recovering, preserving, and analysing digital evidence from devices, networks, and cloud environments.
