Overview
The emphasis is on biosciences, and then shifts towards disease processes and forensic investigation of physical evidence types.
In addition to the pursuit of core sciences, you will study forensic investigation in anthropology and topics relating to archaeology - including the degradation of human remains and physical materials - which will develop your skills in forensic interpretation. The final year develops your professional skills through a forensic research dissertation.
This Forensic and Medical Sciences (Hons) programme at the University of Bradford prepares you for a wide range of careers, including those in the professional medical and forensic sectors because of its broad basis and application.
Career prospects
There are wide-ranging career opportunities, including the health service, the forensic science or police scientific support laboratories, the Health and Safety Executive, and the public analysts’ laboratories, as well as opportunities in the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, drink and electronics industries.
