Overview
Forensic scientists provide impartial evidence in criminal investigations through their scientific expertise. They work in laboratories, at crime scenes, and in courtrooms, utilising their highly developed biology and chemistry skills. Their highly detailed work encompasses elements of chemistry and biology applied in areas such as toxicology, DNA analysis, and trace evidence. At Lincoln, students are taught by experienced academics and practitioners with specialist expertise in analytical and organic chemistry, pharmacy, entomology, anthropology, and molecular biology. Students will be encouraged to engage in an interdisciplinary research culture and to work alongside academics who strive to advance forensic science techniques. Teaching incorporates forensic principles, operating within the context of legal considerations, the role of the expert witness, and presentation of evidence. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the processes involved in providing impartial evidence in criminal investigations, from crime scenes to laboratory and, finally, to the courtroom.
