Summary

The MSc Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics at UWTSD is a highly specialised course designed to develop your skills and knowledge in the rapidly growing field of cybersecurity. This programme focuses on equipping you with the ability to protect an organisation’s IT systems from various cyber-attacks, while also preparing you to investigate and respond to incidents of cybercrime. You will learn essential techniques like penetration testing, helping you to assess vulnerabilities in systems and safeguard against potential threats.

As part of this course, you will gain practical experience in both cybersecurity and digital forensics by analysing and responding to cyber incidents in real time. The hands-on approach ensures that you not only understand theoretical concepts but also have the confidence and technical ability to apply them in real-world situations. The course will teach you how to collect and analyse digital evidence, providing a strong foundation for investigating security breaches or other digital crimes.

What sets UWTSD apart is its partnerships with top cybersecurity vendors. As a Cisco Academy since 1999, an EC Council Academy partner since 2018, and part of the Palo Alto Cybersecurity Academy and Checkpoint Secure Academy, we offer a unique blend of curriculums from these leading organisations.

These certifications can give you a competitive advantage in the job market.

Throughout the programme, you will have access to advanced network security tools and the best networking and cybersecurity lab in Wales. You will also develop skills in areas such as incident response, malware analysis, and digital forensics. Whether you are managing a security breach, collecting evidence for a forensic investigation, or conducting in-depth research for your dissertation, the course ensures you are well-prepared for the complex challenges of the digital world.
