Explore the science of investigation, learning the skills to collect, analyse and interpret evidence. Its a highly specialised course, designed to put you on a high-impact career path. We are one of the few universities in the UK with the experience, facilities and industry connections to offer such a professionally relevant programme in forensic science. Here, youll learn from experts in their fields, whether seasoned CSIs or leading academics. The course is built around three core topics of forensics – investigation, biology and chemistry – with a range of options to help you steer your studies toward your strengths and interests. Youll learn the theory and practice of forensic investigation, crime scene processing and laboratory-based analysis. With our own crime scene houses and professional-standard labs, youll develop workplace-ready skills. And, thanks to our partnership with Lancashire Constabulary, you could even get the chance to shadow a professional forensic scientist in an operational environment. So, by the time you graduate, you should have everything you need to pursue a future as a forensic scientist.
