Forensic Investigation MSc

The Forensic Investigation course is part of the Forensic MSc Programme and is highly practical and hands-on, aiming to produce forensic experts capable of giving expert witness testimonies in a courtroom situation and elsewhere.

Students are able to choose from a wide range of subject areas, providing a highly flexible course where learners are able to tailor their MSc to their interests.

The course consists of a short period of introductory studies followed by academic instruction in modular form.

Students are required to take five core modules and choose six elective modules based on their particular background, future requirements or interests. This is followed by a four-month research project and either a thesis or literature review and paper
