Forensic Science with Criminology (Extended), BSc Hons

The extended forensic science with criminology degree combines biological and chemical sciences with specific modules on policing, societal violence, and the psychology of terrorism. This interdisciplinary approach is supported by practical training in laboratories and mock crime scene facilities, including specialized vehicle examination areas and an entomology department. These resources allow for the application of investigative techniques within realistic workplace scenarios.

An initial foundation year provides essential training in academic writing and computing to establish a strong basis for degree-level education. Following this preparatory phase, the curriculum aligns with the standard three-year programme, which is formally accredited by the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences. The learning experience is further enhanced through workshops, field-based projects, and professional placements designed to bridge the gap between academic study and the forensic industry.
