Where can I find advice and information on computer forensic technology courses?
I have a basic IT support background and would like to work in this area. I live in London. A. The main centre offering specific courses in the London area is Middlesex University. They have degree programmes, including one with a foundation year, although that may not be necessary for you as you have already been working in IT. Besides learning about the technology, students are taught about legal issues such as the restrictions on collecting evidence, or what is admissible in a court of law and how it is presented in court as part of a case. Course admissions tutors would be the people to phone to discuss entry requirements and your level of experience. Look up www.mdx.ac.uk/criminology. There is also a part-time option at Canterbury Christ Church University in Kent (www.canterbury.ac.uk/courses). Other specific courses are further afield. Details of these can be found by searching for forensic computing on the UCAS website (www.ucas.ac.uk). You should also check out www.soca.gov.uk,
