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.
