Abstract

The number of computer forensics related courses in Australian universities tripled in the last three years. This unprecedented growth is fuelled by the growth of the discipline itself and the increase in demand for specialists by both law enforcement agencies and business organisations. This paper presents an overview of current computer forensics education in Australian tertiary institutions. We also discuss the position of computer forensics in the body of knowledge and the issues of curriculum development, including the involvement of professional societies.
