No. BSc Ethical Hacking is a Computing course, BEng Digital Forensics and System Security is a Systems Engineering course.

I must say, the course has been altered since I commenced it... it looks like they've moved DFSS onto a more common programme with Ethical Hacking.

As far as employment opportunities go, however, I still stand by my previous comments. A graduate in DFSS has much better employment prospects. The Faculty management creating synergy between the two courses simply makes it an easier choice, IMO.
