Go beyond the police tape with this fascinating and highly practical Forensic Sciences degree. Learn the techniques that underpin the recognition, identification, recovery, analysis, and evaluation of information that can be used as evidence in court. Are you naturally inquisitive with a passion for chemistry and biology?

This degree explores how archaeological techniques and the analysis of human remains are used in a forensic (medico-legal) context. You will gain a full grounding in archaeological excavation, surveying and recording of crime scenes. In addition, you will also learn about human anatomy and anthropological analysis of human remains, including age, sex, ancestry assessment and the analysis and interpretation of trauma.

You'll graduate with in-depth knowledge of the theory behind the science, supported by practical experience gained in simulated crime scenes and court cases, and major incident exercises that unfold in real-time and in our outstanding laboratories. You'll also discover how the skills you gain can be applied within archaeology and in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

This degree offers a scientific approach to the study of psychology and behaviour. You will be introduced to psychological theories, methods and processes relating to the legal, criminal and civil justice systems.
