Course summary

Ever watched a crime documentary and found yourself glued to the screen during crime scene investigations? Or perhaps you zone in on the lab investigations, including spot tests for blood stains, and the methods used for determining alcohol and drugs in the blood? A four-year undergraduate Master’s course with a placement year in research, our Forensic and Analytical Science MSci degree gives you an opportunity to potentially explore these areas of this fascinating subject, while putting theory to the test in the real world. In our specialised labs and crime-scene facilities on our Forensic and Analytical Science MSci degree, you’ll get to grips with tools and processes used in real-life investigations, with simulated scenarios providing on-the-spot challenges to help test your know-how.


Why Study Forensic and Analytical Science with Industrial Experience MSci at the University of Huddersfield?

The course will see you get to grips with the tools and processes used in real-life, forensic investigations, via our specialised labs and crime-scene facilities. Simulated scenarios will also challenge you to apply your know-how on the spot and. Where this course differs from our BSc(Hons) is that, during the third year of the MSci, you’ll experience a (compulsory) placement year in an academic research setting, working with one of our Forensic and Analytical Science academics. Research topics range from looking at toolmark impressions to the identification of lubricants used in firearms. The variety of roles in forensic science is vast, too – from forensic toxicologists and DNA analysts, to forensic entomologists, toolmark and impressions, firearms and clothing damage analysts.


Professional Bodies

This course was last accredited in autumn 2018 by the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences and for six years thereafter.
