Course Overview

On this criminology with forensic investigation course, you will immerse yourself in core aspects of criminology to understand how and why crime occurs, and how forensic investigation uncovers hidden details of crimes already committed.

During a mock major incident exercise with serving police and ambulance service professionals, you will develop real-world forensic investigative skills in our crime house.

Through developing robust research skills, you will be empowered to produce knowledge, not just learn it. Our strong links with criminal justice and community-based organisations and groups in Cumbria will provide you with excellent volunteering opportunities and job prospects.
