Course Overview

This Forensic Science course focuses on the processing and analysis of physical evidence from crime scenes.

A characteristic of the University of Bradford's approach is the integration of practical skills training within a good theoretical framework – whether in terms of crime scene investigation, the collection, examination, and interpretation of physical evidence, laboratory processing, and analysis.

The course provides you with a sound knowledge of how scientific techniques can be used within forensic investigations and allows you to explore a challenging area of applied science. You will develop into a professional with the scientific skills to work within areas such as crime scene investigation, forensic science, and related laboratory areas.

Throughout your degree, you will acquire skills that will be useful in whatever profession you choose to follow.  These include project and time management, critical review and analytical thinking, presentational skills, computer and other applied IT skills, and the management of data.  These will be taught, practiced, and assessed.
