Forensic Computing at Staffordshire University

I recently went and visited Staffordshire University and did an Interview for the course Forensic Computing (fg44). The interview went really well, got told I would be able to do the course "piss easy", "Yes piss is a technical term", I was given the full marks for the Interview and today received confirmation I had been offered an unconditional place. Which was great to hear !! So September here I come. Here is a link to the specific course.

A bit of a review of the University from my point of view. The staff were really friendly and funny, not just the computer staff either the starting talk for everyone had plenty of jokes to put people at ease. There were only four other people who were interested in Forensic Computing when I went, funny enough we were all on our own, other than one person who brought there dad I think.

They recently had a new building and new computers, they had an old forensic lab but it is apparently being updated before we arrive this year, so that's good to know. The lab had about 18 computers with Encase and numerous other things. Like a collection of about 20 PDA and a proper Write blocker kit. I was happy to know they have an expert as part of the staff who has been to court and what not and he seemed really knowledgeable.

All in all really looking forward to starting in September.
