BSc (Hons) Forensic Science

Course Overview

Our course will teach you the principles of forensic science, from crime scene to court room. Based in our £45m Science Centre in Cambridge, youll analyse and investigate a range of evidence in crime scene rooms and the forensic lab. With a focus on chemical and biological analysis, youll find out what that evidence means. We look at ways to €˜read data, interpret the results and present your evidence in court. Youll get hands-on with specialist analytical equipment, under the guidance of expert tutors. And youll learn outside the classroom too, with visits to law courts and a local mortuary, and opportunities to work with local police forces and forensic labs.
