This course offers a combination of forensic aspects with a thorough grounding in the traditional science of biology, in particular the molecular biology techniques and DNA profiling. The techniques you will learn are transferable to other biological disciplines, and provide a solid foundation for a wide range of graduate careers. Teaching is delivered by an experienced and committed team of lecturers, supported by practicing experts from many forensic disciplines. Emphasis is placed on the development of key skills, equipping you with the necessary theoretical basis and practical experience to enter many areas of employment in both forensic and biological sciences. You’ll have the opportunity to involve yourself in a range of practices, from a crime scene to a court. Foundation Year courses have been designed for students who do not have the necessary academic qualifications needed to enter directly into the first year of a degree but who have the ability and commitment to do so. Once the Foundation Year has been completed successfully, you can then go on to complete your degree.
