Yes, the University of Auckland offers a Postgraduate Diploma in Forensic Science, which covers digital forensics along with forensic data analysis and related topics. However, given your 15 years of IT experience, a program focused specifically on cybersecurity and digital forensics - like the Master of Cyber Security and Digital Forensics at Auckland University of Technology (AUT) - may be a better fit for your background.

Both programs have strong career outcomes:
- University of Auckland graduates work as forensic scientists, fingerprint examiners, and lab technicians.
- AUT’s program prepares students for advanced roles in cybersecurity and digital forensics, matching current industry demand.

If you want a course directly aligned with your IT expertise, AUT's program is likely the more suitable choice.
