Overview
Learn to examine, analyse and interpret the information present at a crime scene Want to pursue a career in forensic science? Learn to examine, analyse, and interpret the information present at a crime scene. How is scientific evidence gathered from a crime scene? How is it analysed and used in investigation? How is it interpreted and presented in court? This course gives you practical skills and knowledge to answer these questions, through hands-on experience and real-world applications. You will study and practice in our cutting-edge facilities, gaining hands-on experience in DNA analysis, archaeology, questioned documents, toxicology, and drug confirmation. You will use industry-standard equipment and instruments, mirroring those used in real-life forensic casework. In addition, you will have access to our designated crime scene house – a real semi-detached property located on-site. Its rooms and garden feature a variety of mock crime scenes, including burglary, arson, assault, sexual crime, and murder. You will also have opportunities to participate in vehicle crime simulations and attend several mock court sessions.
