With your two-year, online Master of Science in Cybercrime and Digital Investigation from Michigan State University, you'll be able to launch or advance a career investigating or responding to cybercrime in law enforcement, government, and private industry. Our fully online program's unique perspective is focused on the human aspects of cybercrime, including the offenders, victims, and threat response community. An IT background is not required to succeed in this program.

Computers are central to all aspects of our daily lives; as industries ranging from communications to banking have come to rely on them, the need for improved computer security has never been greater. This course focuses on two aspects of Cyber Security: analysis and assessment of risk plus how to minimise it, and how to extract and use digital information from a wide range of systems and devices. The course is structured so that as well as the core modules, students can choose option modules from either the Cyber Security or the Digital Forensics themes. Teaching methods include lab-based sessions, student-led tutorials and lectures by internal staff and guest speakers from the industry. Our courses are offered by friendly, highly experienced staff and benefit from the diverse specialist knowledge and skills within the School of Computer Science and Engineering. Assessments will be carried out mostly through practical or research-based coursework.

This new MSc program equips you with the ability to excavate and analyse human remains. Learn the practical skills needed to recover human remains in the field. Gain the theoretical knowledge needed to reconstruct biological profiles from hard tissue, supported by laboratory based training.

Our Master of Science (MSc) in Forensic Biology is specifically designed for students who wish to consolidate their knowledge in this field further, increasing their specific skills and professional capacity. The program approaches the subject from different perspectives: the ethical-legal and the purely scientific and analytical. The course of study guarantees theoretical training and a solid specialized education obtained through research activities and practical laboratory sessions.

The Masters of Science in Forensic Science is a 36 credit hour program of study designed to offer students both a global perspective and an opportunity for in-depth study at the graduate level in forensic science. The degree provides students with a fundamental understanding of the concepts and principles involved in the application of scientific techniques to forensic investigations and to the criminal justice system. Recent advances in basic scientific research have had a rapid and dramatic impact on these fields and it is only through an understanding of these critical scientific concepts that those in the legal system may be effective in criminal investigations and judicial proceedings. A graduate M.S. degree in Forensic Science offers a strong complement for people interested in a focus on criminal justice as related to major areas of study such as anthropology, biology, chemistry, physics, geology, psychology, engineering, journalism, education, medicine, and law.

This MSc focuses on case formulation and the applied aspects of forensic psychology. There is an emphasis on working with different groups, including children/adolescents, violent or sexual offenders, and those with forensic mental health concerns. The programme has a clear focus on practice-based topics in forensic psychology. Students are able to conduct a research project alongside academics who are active researchers in their fields. Areas of expertise amongst staff include understanding deception and interviewing skills; investigative and courtroom processes; sexual fantasy and sexual offending; and online sexual exploitation material.

This MSc provides the academic training required for a career as a forensic psychologist.

Forensic Archaeology is the specialist application of archaeological techniques to the search and recovery of evidential material from crime scenes, often but not always related to buried human remains. This course is taught by staff with extensive crime scene experience who regularly work on a range of operations and are at the forefront of the professional development of the discipline.

Forensic Science (Analysis) examines the latest analytical, spectroscopic and separation techniques used in case studies, such as Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LCMS/ MS) and Inductively-Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS). You will learn to investigate and analyse drugs of abuse, fibres and firearms and conduct fire and explosive investigations.

Is crime-solving your calling? Our MS in Forensic Science prepares you for a career in one of the fastest-growing fields in the country. The program’s science-based curriculum provides the education and professional experience you’ll need to play a pivotal role in today’s criminal justice system and for a successful future in forensic science.

MSc Forensic Psychology at Winchester provides the academic component (Stage 1) of the route to becoming a Chartered Forensic Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS's) Division of Forensic Psychology (DFP) and Practitioner Forensic Psychologist status with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). The programme also supports students with the transition towards Stage 2 of the chartering process by providing opportunities to volunteer in forensic practice placements to gain suitable experience and by incorporating practice-based assessments.

Our Chartered Institute for IT (BCS) accredited MSc Cyber Security, Threat and Forensics will equip you with a deep cyber security knowledge base and real-world skills for a career in fighting cybercrime. You’ll study in our £65 million science, engineering and environment building with specialist computing labs minutes from Manchester city centre, home to one of the fastest-growing tech communities in Europe. There’ll also be opportunities to engage with our industry partners through networking events and live projects.

On this part-time, distance learning course you will learn how to evaluate and interpret different forms of forensic evidence and how to consider its relevance to police investigations. You will study the scientific principles and practical application of the many and varied techniques used to forensically examine different evidence types.

Consistently with the aims of the LM-55 Cognitive Sciences class, the master's degree program in Cognitive Forensic Sciences aims at providing its graduates with advanced and multidisciplinary training (psychological, legal, philosophical, neuroscientific, methodological, and technological) on the topics of cognitive sciences applied to the legal-forensic context.

Tiffin MSc in Criminal Justice (MSCJ), with a concentration in Forensic Psychology, is an outstanding example of how the real world meets the classroom experience.
