Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Cyber Security and Computer Forensics (FG45)

Cybercrime continues to rise and so does the need for skilled graduates. Delve into the intricacies of computing and security and learn how to become a computer forensics investigator. Students will engage with a range of topics that will teach them how to confidently tackle challenging computer forensics and security issues. From protecting organisational ecosystems to ethical hacking, they’ll develop the skills needed to protect systems from malicious attacks, human error and vulnerability exploitations.

With a degree from Canterbury, students will be ready to enter a range of careers including civil litigation and criminal prosecution. Not only will students grasp the specialist skills needed to thrive in multiple professions, but they will have the opportunity to collaborate with other students, apply project management skills and incorporate principals of commercial management through work and assessments. From this, students will graduate with a well-rounded range of skills that are needed to succeed in the workplace.

As well as a breadth of technical skills, students will develop hugely important professional skills to enable them to engage successfully with employers and their business. Areas of work for the computer forensic/cyber security professional include, but are not limited to digital forensic investigation in law enforcement, the intelligence services (MI5), consultancy, financial services or healthcare. Staff at Canterbury Christ Church have real-life experience in all of these areas and are well placed to advise what practitioner life is really like at the operational end of cyber security work.
