Additional options
“I had been working as a digital forensic scientist at a private lab in South Africa for about two and a half years. This degree will develop my professional knowledge and allow me to learn the why, instead of just the how. I secured a Commonwealth Scholarship for my studies. It is a large part of why I am able to enjoy quality postgraduate education.”
