This Programme focuses on identifying data breaches, phishing, or other cybersecurity threats to a company or government agency. Students learn to identify potential risks, address the underlying problems, and prevent future attacks through appropriate software and forensic tools. Further, Uganda does not have any University currently offering this program, and yet there are so many cases of computer-related crimes being reported in the media, with the lack of qualified professionals who can aid the police in collecting evidence of these crimes.
First degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems, Software Engineering, Network Engineering, Communications Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, and Law with at least a Second Class Honors (Lower Division)
The programme targets students with either legal or computer background who are passionate about acquiring skills and knowledge to conduct high technology investigations for acquiring digital evidence and reporting findings.
