Cyber Security and Digital Forensics

About this course

Cyber security and digital forensics together address two of the most consequential challenges facing organisations in the digital age. Cyber security is concerned with protecting computer systems, networks, and data from attack, compromise, and misuse. Digital forensics applies investigative techniques to digital evidence, recovering, analysing, and presenting data in ways that can support criminal investigations and legal proceedings. Both fields require a deep understanding of how computer systems and networks function, combined with the analytical rigour to identify vulnerabilities and the practical skills to respond when things go wrong. At the University of the West of England, Bristol, this three-year full-time programme develops your technical knowledge across both disciplines, preparing you to help organisations manage cyber-attacks and investigate digital evidence effectively.
