Hey there,
It depends what you study at the moment at your current University (Mudule wise), since, at the moment I am doing Digital Forensics, and myself, the Computer/Computing Science; Forensic Computing students are ALL studying the same stuf (The comp Science students have an Option to take Forensics).
In the 1st year we do a unit "Introducation to Security Technologies, basically to really get information into you, where you may not have a clue what the unit is about or even where to star (They go over the basics).
I would imagine, that to be sucesfully transferred in your second year, you will need to have a nowledge of Java programming (we use NetBeans and the module is called "Introduction to Software Development).
Also, we study "Hardware Software Systems & Graphics" << Its as it says... its how a PC works, Binary/Hexadecimal multiplication/Addition etc, and then obviously on graphic cards etc (Just what we have started).
So basically, I would say its down to what you have currently started and what units you aim to do at Your University.
Hope this helps.
But yes, as a person above me has stated, a lot of University is self study, however, you should be having more than 9 hours a week XD I'm in University every single day and do a total of... 16 Hours a week. But even though University is about "Independancy" you still expect to be taught a decent amount (Else what the hell are you paying for?)
