**Why an Integrated Foundation Stage?**
An Integrated Foundation Stage starts your degree studies with a year spent learning the skills required to progress onto a full honours degree. Alongside an introduction to Computer and Cyber Forensics, you will develop valuable study skills, communication, team work and problem-solving techniques which help to build your confidence and prepare you for the rest of your course.
**Why Computer and Cyber Forensics?**
Our Computer and Cyber Forensics degree prepares you to investigate cybercrime, as you learn how to process a digital crime scene, retrieve digital media, investigate evidence and report findings in legal contexts. Real-life case studies form a key part of the course, covering areas such as identity theft and financial crime, as well as information technology law. With the chance to gain experience on work placements at organisations such as Gloucester Constabulary and CGI, our graduates stand out from the competition.
The University of Gloucestershire is the county’s leading provider of advanced teaching and research in computing, cyber and digital. Here, you’ll draw on the expertise of lecturers with extensive industry knowledge, as well as inspiring guest speakers from companies such as BT, Raytheon and Hewlett Packard.
