Program Description

Are you excited by the idea of searching for evidence that could help solve a crime? This extended forensic science course offers a new crime scene facility with a purpose-built vehicle examination garage and modern lab spaces. We'll guide you through practical crime scenes and mass disaster scenarios, and you can try out a Disaster Victim Identification in our mock mortuary.

This extended forensic science degree contains a foundation year. If you don't have the traditional entry requirements or your background is in different subjects, you will be able to consolidate your skills before you embark on the three-year course.

• Tuition fees for students who have citizens' rights after Brexit: £9,250

• Placement year fees: £1,000
