Programme taken: Bachelor of Science (Honours) Forensic Computing (Top-up)
I chose University of Portsmouth (UOP) as it is one of the few universities that offers an Honours Degree in Computing and Digital Forensics in Singapore that can be completed in 18 months.
This programme boosted my job confidence as I learnt broad computing knowledge and gained deeper understanding of Digital Forensics. My study journey was also smooth as I had sufficient time to complete assignments and juggle time between my work and studies.
As I graduated from a local Polytechnic some years ago, I always felt the need to upgrade my knowledge and skills. The programme totally refreshed my understanding of the latest IT industry trends today and expanded my perspective of the Cybersecurity industry. I would highly recommend this programme to anyone looking to be a Cybersecurity professional as it validated my skills and prepared me to be more industry-ready.
