The content of my course was always interesting and kept my attention during my three years studying. I use what I learned at university every day - that could be the notes I’ve made whilst studying or the use of programs like XRY, FTK Imager and EnCase. During my second year, we did a group project for forensics where we collected evidence and presented it to a court. This was one of the best experiences I had at university.

The city centre of Leeds is very compact, and most buildings are within walking distance of one another which is great for students. However, if you want an alternative way to travel, why not consider Leeds City buses? These buses are frequent, easy to use and some buses now have zero emissions and run entirely on electricity.
