Forensic scientists apply scientific analysis to criminal and civil investigations, producing evidence that is admissible to a court of law. It's a fascinating and rigorous scientific discipline that builds your knowledge of biology and chemistry as well as developing advanced problem-solving, data interpretation and communication skills. From crime scene to laboratory to courtroom, studying Forensic Science provides a springboard into a range of exciting careers within the justice system and beyond.
MSci Forensic Science has been designed in conjunction with professional forensic scientists to provide a deep understanding of the way scientific disciplines are applied to the investigation of crime. Covering crime scene investigation, laboratory analysis, interpretation and evaluation, as well as the presentation of evidence, the course has a strong practical focus with excellent study facilities. In the final year you will study advanced topics including practical fire investigation, blood pattern analysis and wildlife forensics alongside an extended research project. |
