What will I learn?

The Forensic Investigation: Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity Bachelor of Technology program enables you to extract digital evidence using forensic techniques, and to investigate and reduce cyber-related crime. Hone your investigative and problem-solving skills, expand your legal knowledge, and learn how to present in court as an expert witness. There is a growing need for specialists trained in digital forensics and cybersecurity (DFCS) because criminals are increasingly targeting our computers and using computers to commit fraudulent and violent crimes. Computers are the backbone of our infrastructure, and anyone with malicious intent can cause irreparable harm by sabotaging these systems.The DFCS Bachelor of Technology (BTech) provides you with essential technical expertise, investigative skills, legal knowledge and communication skills to combat computer crimes such as identity and corporate theft, and credit card fraud. Most criminals leave clues behind, but you must know what, how and where to find them.
