A British university is to begin offering a degree course in cyber-crime fighting techniques.
Cranfield University in Shrivenham, Wiltshire, hopes to begin its MSc in forensic computing early next year.
The course will be aimed at showing police and IT security professionals how to extract evidence from digital communications.
Course leader Prof Tony Sammes told Silicon.com the course will be the first of its kind in the UK.
Aside from learning the necessary technical skills, students will also get a grounding in criminal psychology and ethics and training in courtroom skills.
