After earning a bachelor's degree, you can pursue a higher degree to study your chosen subject even more. A master's degree shows employers that you are focused, dedicated and hard-working.

What is an MSc in Forensic Science? Forensics is any method used to determine what happened before, during and after a crime. You can focus on one area of forensics, such as biology or cyber security, and this focus will dictate the sort of criminal activity you can detect. Forensics can also include study in psychology for understanding the criminal mind.

Risk analysis is a major skill you can learn in a forensics program, which you can apply in your own life or use within your job. Other skills include attention to detail and critical thinking which are useful in every facet of life. These skills help you solve problems and think about the many consequences of a single act.

The cost of a master's degree depends on how long you take to complete your degree and which university you choose. Costs include books, fees and registration, as well as lodging and moving if you choose a school far away.

While most jobs with a forensic component are focused on tracking down a criminal, there are other options. Forensics can be used to detect risky situations where a crime may occur, which is useful in creating cybersecurity that prevents digital attacks before they happen. Forensic analysis of handwriting can be used in marital counseling and to help someone choose a career path. Some popular television shows also hire forensics experts to craft believable scenes and situations.

There are multiple schools offering forensic science degrees. You can focus your search by deciding if you want to go to a public or private school and whether you are willing to move.

As the world grows increasingly technology-reliant, cybersecurity and digital forensics have become recognised as two incredibly important areas for organisations to manage. Cybersecurity differs significantly from cybercrime – with the latter being used to describe the illegal and/or harmful behaviours carried out online. While students of our MSc Cybercrime will strive to understand the driving forces behind online criminal activity, cybersecurity deals with the process of predicting, avoiding, and reacting to these acts. With this Master’s course, you’ll also learn key techniques to investigate digital crimes and security breaches and help safeguard your organisation’s success. -
