 Welcome to University of Greenwich. My name is Charlie Billbyn Bailey and I am the Programme Leader for Forensics here. So I want to talk to you about our new programme which is Forensic and Digital Investigation. Now this means you get the key expertise from two different subject specialists. So you get from our Forensics team down here at Medway who will teach you more about the crime scene related work and laboratory work and then you get the digital expertise from our Greenwich team who have a wealth of experience in digital investigation so looking at things like embedded images, steganographic techniques. So learning how you can manipulate digital data to find out where these items have come from. So this covers everything from if you are using your phone for incident banking or if you are using RFID chips in your contactless card payments. So these are areas where people's identities may potentially be stolen but it's not only that. Digital investigation links into all areas of police and criminal investigations so including forensic investigations linked to missing persons, it links to the black market, it links to fraudulent transactions. So there are so many areas in which we are so heavily reliant as a society on digital data that it becomes a priority for us as forensic scientists to investigate those areas and look at also prevention methods. So you'll also see on our website the sandwich year advertised for forensic and digital investigation. Now a sandwich year is basically your year of industrial practice so you'll see it as an industrial practice year. Now that doesn't mean you're going to be out in the crime scene there's too much of a risk contamination but it does mean that you're getting the key skills that make you employable. If you don't achieve that placement we can still take you back and continue on your normal year. We will help you in terms of CV writing you know if you are someone who goes oh I don't do interviews I'm nervous don't worry we can work with you on that and it's not a problem that's the whole point of us being there as your tutors and as your personal tutors. We will help you with the next steps of your career. The industrial placement year is fantastic opportunity in terms of getting you seen as the individual. It's a chance for you to go to employers hey I'm here I've studied at Greenwich I have these skills I'm really keen to work with you and quite a lot of our students when they've done that and they've broken down that barrier they'll start to see job offers before they've been graduated and that's really exciting because that's the whole point it's opening that dialogue with employers. So here at Greenwich we work with you as part of your personal tutors so the idea is almost like a mentor it means that if you're having a rough day you can come talk to us and it doesn't have to just be about your studies it can also be about anything else that's going on but the idea is that you can chat to us and we'll help you through those hurdles.
