The work boundaries of traditional police intelligence analysts and digital forensic investigators are becoming blurred. Analysts now need to be cyber aware and understand how communication records and web search histories can be extracted and analysed.

This course covers these areas and the theories to help understand the causes of crime and the prevention measures to stabilise and reverse these trends. You develop the skills to work effectively with large datasets, allowing you to make more informed decisions in relation to criminal investigations. Key features include writing code to quickly clean up data and packaging it so it’s suitable for analysis and visualisation. You explore strategies employed in forensic investigation and develop your own area of interest in a research project where you maximise your skillsets, from academic writing to data analytics.

The academic year is organised into semesters. In each semester, you study 60 credits worth of modules. There is an intake in September (semester 1) and January (semester 2) and you may begin in either of these intakes.
