Bournemouth University’s BSc (Hons) Cyber Security with Digital Forensics focuses on protecting digital systems while examining cyber incidents and electronic evidence. The course brings together cybersecurity principles and digital forensic techniques, providing a foundation for understanding how digital threats can be identified, investigated and addressed.

What You'll Learn:

• Core concepts and practices in cyber security
• Digital forensics and the examination of digital evidence
• Principles of computer systems and computing
• Methods for identifying and investigating cyber security incidents
• Approaches to analysing digital information during forensic investigations
• Key concepts relating to computer, data and cyber technologies
• Practical and academic skills developed through the Computing Foundation pathway

Learning Outcomes: 
By the end of the course, students will have developed an understanding of fundamental cyber security concepts and how they relate to the protection of digital systems and information. They will be able to apply appropriate approaches to the investigation of digital incidents and understand the role of forensic analysis in examining digital evidence. Students will also develop the computing knowledge and analytical skills needed to engage with cyber security and digital forensics topics at undergraduate level. The programme provides an integrated understanding of both preventative security measures and investigative practices, helping students recognise the relationship between cyber threats, digital systems and forensic examination. The Computing Foundation route also supports progression into the degree by developing relevant academic, subject and English-language skills.
