Presentación

This course equips you with the key skills to pursue a career in cybercrime detection and investigation. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of the legal and technical elements of cybercrime - without having to be a law or technology insider already.
Tackling an urgent problem
Cybercrime costs the UK economy at least £27 billion a year.* The main loser is UK business which suffers from high levels of intellectual property theft and industrial espionage but there is a considerable impact on citizens and government too.
Offering both a practical and academic focus, our MSc takes an in-depth look at the rapidly changing forms of crime which involve the use of technology and digital media. The course has been introduced at a time when there is a growing need for skilled professionals who can detect and prevent cybercrime and have the capacity to undertake thorough e-investigations.

Requisitos

At least a 2:2 from your first degree, or equivalent
If your first language is not English you will need to evidence a proficiency in English (IELTS 7)
We also welcome applicants who do not have a first degree but who have substantial and relevant professional experience.

If you are unsure whether you meet the entry criteria contact the Programme Leader who will be happy to supply further advice.

Salidas profesionales

Cybercrime is a developing and expanding area. Anyone who uses a computer is susceptible to cybercrime - so experts are increasingly required to prevent and detect it.
You can pursue a career in detection, investigation and prosecution in all areas of civil and criminal law. In addition, many corporate institutions are starting to recruit specialists in this area or to contract work to independent e-investigators.
Ongoing careers support
Our Careers and Employment Service will provide you with help, guidance and support from day one of your course - and for up to three years after you’ve completed your studies.
