Course Overview

Forensic evidence is a vital component in bringing perpetrators to justice. On this MSc Forensic Investigation degree course, you'll learn the practical skills and theories that underpin forensic science and its role in criminal justice, from a crime scene to the courtroom.

You'll study when and why forensic science techniques are used within criminal investigations, as well as how best to deploy them. You'll develop the ability to form strategic forensic responses in the investigation of crime, and understand how to apply them within your career.

Drawing on the expertise of our passionate and research-driven criminology team, you'll develop your skills in independent research design, data analysis and critical thinking.

You can tailor your studies with specialist subjects such as applied forensic science, aquatic forensic investigation and investigation and psychology.

When you graduate, you'll have all the skills you need for a successful career in forensic investigation or police work, or another related criminal justice field, such as intelligence or crime science.
