-
Forensic
Computing (Electronic Evidence) - Network and Device Forensics ISO 17025

The
Masters program requires students to develop and undertake an integrated

In some cases this project might focus on a real issue within their
employment.
The

basic concepts and theoretical underpinnings of Electronic Evidence and
