Program description
Are you interested in crime scene investigation and forensic science? The investigative methods and state-of-the-art equipment you'll be exposed to as part of our BSc (Hons) Forensic and Criminal Investigation program will prepare you for careers in the real world.
The first part of the course is an interactive tour of the investigative process, illuminating the interplay between law enforcement, forensics, and the courts. This is an example of investigators working together to get answers. This course will provide you a firm grounding in contemporary forensics and criminal investigations thanks to its expert faculty, guest lecturers, and webinars.
This training is unlike any other because of our immersive, realistic virtual crime world. This setting will be carefully woven throughout your modules to facilitate the practical application of what you learn in lectures, labs, and discussions. You can snoop about a graveyard full of partially dressed skeletons, a courthouse, a forensics lab, and the police custody suite. You'll be more prepared for a career in forensics and criminal investigations after reading this.
