Fascinated by the forensic techniques you see in films and on TV? Or perhaps you’re eager to learn more about the scientific principles behind them?

 

From fingerprint development (chemical and physical) to spot tests for blood stains, refractive index, chromatography, spectroscopy and x-ray fluorescence, you’ll explore a host of methods used within forensic science labs.

 

Why study Forensic and Analytical Science BSc(Hons)

You’ll study from purpose-built, on-campus forensic science labs and specially made crime scene facilities, with the course covering a host of modules. Practical work on this course is supported by lectures on forensic awareness and will explore how forensic scientists interact with the police force and other bodies.

 

Modules are varied; in the first year alone, the curriculum includes Analytical Science 1 and Important Forensic Concepts.

 

These are supported by core chemistry modules:

• Organic Chemistry 1
• Physical Chemistry 1
• Inorganic Chemistry 1
