    About

    About this course

    Forensic science is one of the fastest growing sectors. This course prepares you for a range of careers – even ones that might not exist yet.

    Our accredited degree develops your specific subject knowledge as well as the practical skills you need to succeed. You’ll go beyond the theory of forensic science and gain practical experience of crime scene investigation, lab analysis and how to present evidence in court.

    We embed transferable skills across the course to boost your employability. And provide opportunities for personal and professional development to build your ability to tackle complex scientific problems with confidence, skill, and maturity.

    You’ll have access to some of the best facilities in the country, including our on-campus crime scene training facility and the Allam Medical Building. In your third year, you’ll carry out career-inspiring projects mentored by our expert researchers and practitioners.

    You can tap into our strong links with Humberside Police, and hear from a range of expert guest speakers, too.

    If you’re fascinated by forensic science and its impact in solving crimes and are looking for a career that makes a difference, this course is for you.

    Scheduled study hours and how you’re assessed

    Throughout your degree, you’re expected to study for 1,200 hours per year. That’s based on 200 hours per 20 credit module. And it includes scheduled hours, time spent on placement and independent study. How this time is divided across the year varies and depends on the module you are studying.

    How you'll be assessed depends on the course you study, and the modules you choose. You may be assessed through a mix of examinations, coursework, presentations and group projects.
