Careers

Many companies have stressed the need for key transferable (professional) skills in the workplace. We have embedded the development of key transferable skills, reflective practice and continuing professional development into the curriculum by using the Undergraduate Skills Recording (USR) tool as a vehicle to instil the concepts of reflective practice and professional development into each year of the course. 

We envisage that the students will be able to demonstrate how they have developed the key transferable skills and should be able to articulate (and evidence) their strengths and weaknesses, via the USR tool, to potential employers, because they are well versed with the concepts of continuing professional development.

Using as close to real life simulations as possible, particularly with our crime scene scenarios, helps to prepare students for real world crime scene situations.

There are several modules that utilise special visiting lecturers (practitioners) that impart real world knowledge and experiences as much as possible to the classroom or practical setting to help prepare students as much as possible to work in the real world. This includes several forensic science and policing activities that we run in career development week.
