Don't know what the course is, but the lads and ladies here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=24 may be able to tell you about the market, as it seems to be loosely based in the same area (I may be wrong about this).

Well, i've been in the security arena now for a good few years and think that as of yet the market isn't developed enough.

There are precious few companies out there doing forensics work & probably for a good reason- there just isn't enough business.

So the options are: one of the 2 or 3 security companies out there who specialise in that area, the gardai, or research/education.

Will it grow? Of course. it's just a question of how quickly.

That's my tuppence worth though.
