Gene Said:

does oxford provide a post graduate course in computer forensics?

We Answered:

Having had a look through the graduate programmes on their website, I don't think they do. The only similar one that I could find was Computer Science.

Vincent Said:

how does one get experience in computer forensics if you already had a year of training?

We Answered:

Suggest you research 'forensic accounting' or 'computer forensics' on Monster.com or Careerbuilder.com and try to find an entry-level position. You should also look into city/state/federal jobs as well.

Edward Said:

i am on a computer forensics course (Bsc) in the UK doing a final year project, any ideas?

We Answered:

disclaimer : am not aware of the syllabus, etc. of this course. Hence only some general ideas/suggestions which hopefully, will get you started.

-- a historical developmental overview/analysis. how did forensics originate, in what form, how it has changed, improved, etc.

-- the linkages/dependency of forensics on technology

-- the future of computer forensics

-- accuracy and predictability of computer forensics

-- its applications & potential - in solving crime, nailing the criminal, paleontology, virtually resurrecting ancient beings [including dinosaurs ;-)], DNA analysis & comparison, security measures, anthropology, genealogy, etc. etc.

-- the pitfalls, crashed hopes, misuse, etc.


* you could create some software based on any of the above applications.
* you could demonstrate how it can be misused by notorious or ignorant persons. maybe some actual examples?

hope some of these ideas help
all the very best :-)



ADDITION :
here's another idea.
how about taking up any old mystery novel/story [eg., by Agatha Christie - Ms Marple, H Poirot; or by AC Doyle - Sherlock Holmes, etc.] - a time when forensics, as we know it today, hadn't developed.
Conjure up a program where, if these sleuths had access to computer forensics, how easily, quickly, differently they would have sloved the case.
Choose a story where you will get to use a lot of the techniques & create some sort of program or model.

hope this helps too :-)
