4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program
The BSc (Hons) Digital Forensics with Foundation Year at Liverpool John Moores University is the ideal course if you are interested in this subject but lack the necessary qualifications to study it at degree level.
Information technology has transformed the way in which commerce and industry operate, but it has also provided criminals with a new way of committing crime, either against the computer itself or the information it holds. Digital forensics has been developed in response to this relatively new phenomenon, and major organisations are now reliant on digital forensics professionals to protect their sophisticated computing systems.
LJMU emphasizes practical experience throughout the program. Students have access to state-of-the-art computing facilities, including a dedicated digital forensics lab equipped with industry-standard software such as FTK, EnCase, Cellebrite, and XRY. The curriculum integrates hands-on experience into modules wherever possible, ensuring that students develop the technical, analytical, and evaluative skills necessary to carry out computer crime investigations within organizations, law enforcement, and national security sectors. Additionally, there is an opportunity to undertake a 12-month paid industrial placement, providing invaluable industry exposure and enhancing employability.
Graduates of this program have excellent career prospects in various sectors, including digital forensics analysis, computer security, and network or system administration. LJMU's strong links with local and national organizations, such as Merseyside Police, the National Crime Agency (NCA), EY, Experian, IBM, Anexsys, CYFOR, and Intaforensics, facilitate work-related learning and placement opportunities, ensuring that students are well-prepared to enter the job market upon graduation.
