Your right, I think modules such as programming, databases, networking etc are useful. My point is that the 3rd year is supposed to be the year in which we specialize. The majority of the 3rd year choice modules posted are covered in either or both the first and second years at Glamorgan and therefore seem a little irreverent to me as 3rd year choice modules.
Also the university you attend does make a difference (Derby, Glamorgan etc). There is one 20 miles from my house offering a Bsc (hons) in Computer Forensics but has no standing or reputation, so I commute 120 miles a day to attend one that does. Mainly because I'm scared of wasting three/four years and thousands of pounds by not getting a job at the end of it. I know there's no guarantee, but it's difficult enough to get into forensics without politics getting in the way.
