Course Overview

Our Forensic Science degree will provide you with the theory and practical experience around crime scene analysis and the interpretation of evidence. You will be taught by expert academics who all have vast industry experience across a diverse range of forensic science disciplines. In our dedicated laboratories, you will gain hands-on experience using a wide range of analytical and specialist equipment. Our crime scene flat allows you to use the skills you have developed to gather evidence across crime scenes in a realistic environment. Our enrichment activities and trips allow you to see how these elements come together in the real world, including forensic entomology, bone analysis, and looking into how fire behaves.

Learn how to correctly analyse a crime scene and interpret the evidence in dedicated labs using specialist equipment, taught by academic experts from a wide range of forensic science disciplines. You’ll have the opportunity to see how these are applied in the real world with enrichment activities and trips focusing on forensic entomology, bone analysis, how fire behaves, and more. Plus, you’ll be able to flex the skills you’ve developed at our crime scene flat, where you’ll gather evidence across a variety of crime scenes in a realistic environment.
