In Year 1, youll be introduced to Scientific Techniques, including Forensic Chemistry and Forensic Biology, as well Crime Scene Processing.
In Year 2, youll focus on analysis and measurement. Youll expand on the principles of criminalistic methods analysis with forensic chemistry, forensic biology and Marks and Traces. You will begin designing your final year research project and choose two option modules, including Firearm Investigation, Forensic Archaeology and Vehicle Collision Investigation.
In Year 3, our BSc (Hons) students put forensic knowledge into practice by working on simulated crime scenes, analysing the evidence and presenting in court as an Expert Witness. Youll also complete your independent research project in a current forensic field

Teaching
You will be taught through a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops and laboratory practicals. Seminars enable you to discuss and develop your understanding of topics covered in lectures in smaller groups of around 16-18 students. In addition, you will have timetabled meetings with your personal tutor at least twice a year. You will be taught in first-class learning spaces throughout your course. Many of our courses are accredited or recognised by professional, statutory or regulatory bodies.

Assessment
Your course will provide you with opportunities to test your understanding of your subject informally before you complete the formal assessments that count towards your final mark. Each module normally includes practice orformative assessments, for which you receive feedback from your tutor. Practice assessments are developmental and any grades you receive for them do not count towards your module mark. There is a formal orsummative assessment at the end of each module. This includes a range of coursework assessments, such as essays, reports, portfolios, performance, presentations, final year, independent project and written examinations. The grades from formal assessments count towards your module mark.
