Course overview

Explore the core principles of biology and acquire essential forensic skills with our Forensic Biology BSc. You will develop practical, analytical, problem-solving and research abilities that are highly valued by employers and crucial for a successful career in the field.

Our curriculum covers a range of engaging topics, including forensic chemistry, which examines molecular structure, as well as techniques for recovery and analysis in crime scene investigation (CSI), with a focus on human identification. Youll also analyse the major physiological systems and anatomical structures of the human body, as well as fundamental biology concepts, from genes and ecosystems to molecular biology.

Spend a year in industry

In an increasingly competitive job market, employers are seeking to recruit employees who have high-level knowledge, skills and an understanding of the workplace. In between year two and three of your studies, you will have the opportunity to spend time gaining practical experience with a chemistry or forensic science-focused company or organisation. This will enable you to apply the skills and theories you have learnt to real situations in the industrial workplace. You will also enhance your employability skills in the presentation and communication of data, the writing of reports, and the ability to work independently, and as part of a team. Work experience in your area of interest will not only demonstrate your commitment and passion, but will also enable you to make meaningful connections by networking with experts in the field.
