Beerbaron,
Firstly, love the handle.
Secondly, some (hopefully), valuable info.....
There are a lot of good universities offering computer forensics.
As for Westminster or Luton. I say this. Your university is VERY important. Westminster or Luton? I dont know them, I dont know how good they are. I also didnt know that they did computer forensics? Is that a good thing?
I wouldnt employ someone from these university's UNLESS I was contacted by the lecturers because unless I know the course, lecturers and students, I wouldnt consider them.
I cant say too much about Luton or Westminster, however, I do know that there are a few outstanding universities:
Royal Military College of Science at Cranfield, (globally accepted as the best of the best - however you have to be a computer forensics practitioner or have a bloody good reason to apply).
Dublin University - reputed as as good as Cranfield
Glamorgan, reputed as the best of the second tier - this is not disrepecting Glamorgan - Cranfield is exceptional.
Derby, execellant because they also have a law department, (very useful)
Westminster or Luton......... I am not saying that they are not good, however, until I am contacted by them, to let me know how they teach and the content of their course etc, I cant comment.
Let me know if you want more information.
Regards,
Simon

what cant you see... ? " hi andy007 .... GIYF "
sorry for the brevity : ...
GIYF is an acronym for Google Is Your Friend. I was suggesting you feed a few of your enquiries into Google.
What did Google throw up when you typed in PC forensic jobs ?
Did You check the syllabus for the OU course?
What do u mean by "any good" ? reputation? content? what ?
