In Cyber Security and Digital Forensics

This module provides an in-depth understanding of algorithm analysis, advanced data structures and sophisticated algorithm design techniques. Students will learn to optimize computational tasks through practical applications, project work, and theoretical studies. The course will prepare students to tackle complex problems with efficiency.

This module introduces learners to methods and techniques for analysing problematic organisational situations. They will learn how to analyse business requirements, model systems, and design solutions that meet organizational needs. They will be exposed to both technical and organisational material to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to design and implement an operational system.

This module introduces learners to basic concept and fundamental principles of cloud computing and development platforms. They learn programming skills in cloud, design and develop cloud applications in various platforms. They are exposed to the technologies used in provisioning clouds, the application of cloud computing to solve problems, and the issues that must be considered when deploying cloud technologies in an organisation.

This module equips learners with the skills and knowledge to develop and deploy full-stack web applications.  It covers both front-end and back-end technologies, focusing on building dynamic and secure web applications Learners will gain proficiency in both front-end and back-end development, covering user interface (UI) design, web development frameworks, databases, server-side programming, and application deployment.

This module provides an in-depth understanding of the design, implementation, and management of secure IT systems. Learners explore industry best practices for building robust cybersecurity architectures, understand operational procedures to maintain security posture, and gain practical skills to identify and mitigate cyber threats. It exposes learners to network security, cryptographic techniques, incident response, risk management, and compliance with industry standards.

This module develops learners’ understanding, knowledge and skills associated with various malicious hacking attacks targeting computer systems and the appropriate countermeasures needed to minimise such attacks. It also equips students to secure a computer system/network both internally and externally and learn how to perform penetration testing.

This module introduces learners to the tools, techniques, and methods needed to recover digital evidence from a variety of devices. They are exposed to modern forensic computing involving preservation, identification, and analysis of digital evidence stored on various devices and media in an ethical manner.
