    This is an interesting topic! If you've seen the medical forensic science shows on TV, you'd know that the Cyber Forensics is something similar; but related to crimes in the digital world. It mostly is about finding legal evidences in the digital media. Most often deals with discovering, identifying, analysing and recovering digital information.

    For example, if a hacker cracks online bank accounts and steals money, the cyber forensics guys would play a crucial role in discovering the exact crack that was used and help in tracking the cracker.

    If you are talking about curriculum, then I don't know. You'll have to check whether your University includes it as a part of CS. But all I can with confidence is that the basics of all of cyber forensics lie in strong CS foundation.
