• A dedicated forensics computer laboratory
• Over 30 computing laboratories with an extensive range of specialist and other software providing access to Linux/UNIX, Windows and Mac OS, all supported by high-bandwidth networks.
• Access to a range of free software titles through a number of academic initiatives for use on home computers for educational and personal purposes.
• Specialist technicians to ensure students can get the most out of these technologies.
