Presentación

Our brand new MSci Forensic Investigation course has been designed to allow students without a traditional science background, or those with a specific interest in this area, to acquire knowledge and practical skill relating to the use of crime scene processing, evidence analysis and interpretation and forensic management strategies. The course will explore contemporary areas of forensic investigation including the use of techniques in the criminal investigation of sport and competition, consumer products such as foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, coinage and artwork, the investigation of wildlife crime, and in the investigation of terrorism.

The course will combine studies at Bachelors and Masters level by offering a single, integrated package allowing to gain higher level skills in crime scene examination, crime scene management, and evidence analysis, together with learning about the structure and processes that regulate the criminal justice system and the law associated with criminal investigation.

Learning and teaching methods
Modules in years 1 to 3 are taught linearly across three academic terms, meaning that you will usually receive a lecture in each module every week, allowing you to build up your knowledge throughout the year. This will also be supplemented by practical work in our Crime Scene House or in our laboratories, and especially in year 1, small group tutorials to offer you extra academic study support. In years 2 and 3, we encourage a greater level of independent directed study, and there is greater time spent on studying contemporary and traditional applications of forensic investigation.

In year 4, modules are taught through the block-mode approach, meaning study is more intensive, and is focussed upon one module at one time. This allows you to conduct longer, more involved practicals and research-style experiments to gain greater exposure to these higher level skills. The research project is usually taken over the summer in year 4.

Salidas profesionales

All of our year 4 research projects will be related in some way to projects and research conducted by industry. There may be opportunities to liaise with or work alongside industry to complete final laboratory research projects.
