Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Computer Forensics and Security with Foundation Year

Program Overview

Computer forensics and security are dynamic and growing areas of computing. As cybercrime continues to rise, so does the need for computing professionals to nurture the skills to defend against and investigate it.

You'll study specialist computing forensics and security issues alongside broader computing topics, using a variety of the most up-to-date tools and techniques. With significant demand for skilled graduates in the fields of digital forensics and cybersecurity, this degree brings with it excellent career prospects.

Cyber security incidents can have a number of outcomes, including civil litigation or criminal prosecution. You'll develop skills to use computer forensic techniques to recover intelligence and evidence from digital devices for the purposes of both civil litigation and criminal prosecution.

What's more, you'll learn the latest security tools including Autopsy, X-Ways, XRY, TSK, and Wireshark. You'll also explore how ethical hacking approaches can be used to highlight security vulnerabilities so they can be fixed or mitigated. In your final year, you'll have the knowledge and skills to focus on your chosen area as you complete an individual project.

Our foundation year option enables you to join the Computer Forensics and Security course even if you don’t have the formal qualifications or experience to meet the entry requirements. It equips you with the knowledge to move into formal degree study, setting you up for future success.

We know employers are looking for dynamic, open-minded graduates who can adapt, innovate, and collaborate. This is why we have designed a new way of teaching and learning to ensure that you are work-ready for when you graduate. Our 2026 course will reflect this new approach. The 2026 course page will be made live shortly.
