Our MSc in Forensic Science (and associated awards) aims to give you an overview of current approaches in forensics. This award does not focus on one singular aspect of the Forensic field but a broader approach to what would be required as an investigator or laboratory scientist. This programme suits students who have come from a single science background looking to obtain a broader skillset, or those who currently work in the field who are seeking new direction in a research focused role.Over the course of your study, you will undertake modules that introduce you to the contemporary issues in forensic science - considering where we are as a field now and where we are going in the next few years. This will give you the chance to consider where you fit within the world of forensic science. Alongside this you will undertake study in chemistry, biology, marks and traces, as well as statistical analysis - all of which provide the core structure of your Masters programme.As well as this you will undertake an extended research project in our facilities in partnership with our academic and technical staff. This will develop during your time on campus as you broaden your understanding of analytical forensic methods.
