Overview

Success in this course could enable you to follow a career in either Forensic Science or the Police Service or associated disciplines.

This BSc in Forensic Science with Policing (Hons) at University of Wolverhampton will enable you to develop your skills in scientific and critical thinking as well as independent study.

In addition, if you choose to undertake a sandwich degree, the course will allow you to acquire technical skills in the workplace and enable you to integrate knowledge gained in the theoretical aspects of the course into the professional environment.

What happens on the course?

The BSc Forensic Science with Policing programme contains a core policing module in every semester of study combined with judiciously selected aspects of Forensic Science such that Forensic Science is the major component, approximately 66%.

The benefit of this is that two major avenues of employment are opened up to the successful graduate. The first is that of a typical laboratory scientist both within and without of forensically orientated science.

If within a forensically orientated environment then the knowledge of policing and related procedures can help with communication with both police officers and members of the legal profession, i.e., clients who provide evidence for analysis.
