UndergraduateCourse summary
The MSc Forensic Science course focuses upon the application of up-to-date methods used in forensic science. Students will have the opportunity to document and collect evidence in our Simulation Suite, analyse a range of evidence in our laboratories, and present their findings in our mock court room. On this course current issues and challenges faced by forensic practitioners are tackled. Research informed teaching and state of the art facilities prepare students for careers in forensic science. Our MSc Forensic Science course aims to give you an overview of current approaches in forensics. This award does not focus on one singular aspect of the forensic field but a broader approach to what would be required as an investigator or laboratory scientist. This programme suits students who have come from a single science background looking to obtain a broader skillset, or those who currently work in the field who are seeking new direction in a research focused role. On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: MSc Forensic Science.
