With a strong focus on practical training, you will graduate with the skills to examine, interpret and present forensic evidence confidently.
Enhance your courtroom skills by building knowledge of the science behind criminal investigations and gain practical experience in a unique crime scene training facility.
This comprehensive and flexible degree will cover various disciplines, including illicit drug analysis, DNA analysis, and more.
You can customise your degree to your interests by specialising in forensic biology or chemistry.

You will have the opportunity to visit a court or a crime scene and participate in a ‘moot court’ which allows students to experience a simulated courtroom environment.
