Overview
Keen to get involved in a real, crime-scene investigation? Or perhaps you’re intrigued by how science can be applied to support the legal system? Our Chemistry with Forensic Science BSc(Hons) degree may give you the chance to explore both these areas of the subject. You’ll see chemistry in action, building a broad range of skills – including critical thinking and observational skills - for a potentially rewarding career ahead. The top five job titles advertised in the UK for graduate roles associated with courses in this subject area are Data Analysts, Analytical Chemists, Laboratory Analysts, Development Chemists and Chemistry Technicians.* *Lightcast data extracted from Graduate Career Explorer – job postings from Dec 2023 to Nov 2024 showing jobs advertised associated with a selection of relevant graduates. We’ve ranked 1st in Yorkshire and the Humber for Forensic Science in the Complete University Guide 2026. In Chemistry, we ranked fifth in the country for academic support as well as being top 10 for assessment and feedback and teaching on my course in the 2025 National Student Survey. As employers are looking for graduates to hit the ground running when they begin work, we’ve designed this course as much as possible around practical experiments. In our purpose-built facilities and labs, you’ll have the opportunity to get to grips with a range of instruments, with the aim of becoming skilled in chemical and forensic analysis. You could have the chance to try out spot tests for blood, drugs, and firearm residues, for example, or you might find yourself identifying glass and paint fragments and examining microscopic hairs and fibre.
