Course Overview

Forensic anthropology is the analysis of human remains for the medico-legal purpose of establishing identity. It plays a key role in the UK and international investigations in cases of interpersonal violence and homicide, repatriation, mass disasters, and war crimes. You will learn how forensic anthropology contributes to the analysis and interpretation of human remains. Many of our expert staff are forensic practitioners. They will help you gain the skills needed to interpret juvenile skeletal remains, produce and present forensic skeletal reports, and learn how these reports are used in the legal process. You will also gain a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of gross anatomy through full-body dissection of Thiel embalmed cadavers. These cadavers are soft-fix, which means they retain real-to-life qualities, including realistic color, tissue quality, and flexibility.
