Forensic Science, BSc (Hons)

The BSc (Hons) in Forensic Science is accredited by the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences and was developed with input from professional forensic scientists to deliver a thorough understanding of scientific applications in crime investigation. The program focuses on problem-solving and effective communication of findings, covering crime scene examination, laboratory analysis, evidence evaluation, and presentation. Students share foundation modules with peers in related sciences, allowing flexibility to change courses if interests evolve.In industry-standard labs, students explore forensic tools, apply knowledge at simulated crime scenes in a dedicated facility, and practice presenting evidence in a mock courtroom. Guest lectures from experts enable customization of the degree, with opportunities for internships, placements, and international study. This prepares graduates for careers in forensic services, policing, or laboratory analysis, with many pursuing postgraduate studies in toxicology, forensic anthropology, or archaeology, while skills transfer to sectors like education or law.
