PURPOSE
For graduates with a background in Computer Science, this MSc will strengthen your understanding of the theories, methods and tools relevant to, for instance, computer forensics and cybercrime, computer security, and legal and administrative applications of knowledge-based systems, whilst allowing you to gain new knowledge of information law and management.
DESCRIPTION
This programme equips students with a critical understanding of intelligent systems for legal and administrative applications, computer forensics and cybercrime, an appreciation of the aspects of law that are most relevant to the work of IT-professionals, and a grounding in key management techniques. It is built around taught core modules on intelligent systems for legal and administrative applications, computer forensics and cybercrime, IT law for IT professionals and the principles of management. These modules are complemented by a wide range of optional modules that relate to various aspects of computing and management. The final part of the programme is an individual project that is closely linked to the main themes of the programme, containing a substantial computer science component of either a theoretical or practical nature.
