You are a professional with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree working in the digital forensic field looking to learn more about AI Forensics.
About the course
The advances in AI are unstoppable. Not only in the area of machine learning and computer vision, but maybe even more so, in the field of language models and embedding AI in more or less every digital application and device. This generates new possibilities and challenges for digital forensics. In this module, you will focus on the impact of AI on the forensic field and explore tools and methodologies that help you deal with it effectively.
The course is part of the Master Digital Forensics, a two-year part-time program. The duration of the course is 20 weeks with a study load of 5 ECTS. Our education is offered in a hybrid format, providing the option to follow lectures online except for several mandatory on-campus meetings (practical projects and exams). The curriculum combines theory and practice. Participants are expected to carry out practical projects and assignments in their own workplace or at the Digital Forensics Lab at the Digital Forensics & E-Discovery lectorate based at the HSD-campus in the Hague.
Admission requirements
The admission requirements for this module are:
- Bachelor's degree ICT, Computer Science or Digital Forensics (or completed pre-master program Digital Forensics).
- Relevant work experience in the Digital Forensics field.
- Proficiency in academic English is required.
- Resume check to review if you meet the entry-level requirements of the module (if needed to determine this, you will be invited for an introductory interview).
Microcredential
After completing the course, you will receive a micro-credential. Micro-credentials focus on specific skills and areas of knowledge, offering a targeted, flexible, and time-efficient way to develop new competencies or enhance existing ones.
If you later decide to pursue the Master’s Degree in Digital Forensics, you will be granted exemptions for any courses in the program that correspond to the micro-credentials you have already earned.
