Course summary

Explore the science behind crime and justice with Kent’s Forensic Science MSc. This course is ideal if you’re looking to deepen your scientific expertise or shift into forensic investigation from a related discipline. Accredited by the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences, the course blends theory and practice across incident management, taphonomy and cutting edge forensic research. You’ll build confidence through practical work in simulated major incidents and legal cross-examinations, and gain experience presenting evidence to varied audiences. At Kent, you benefit from world-class facilities, including the UK’s only university-owned live-fire ballistics range, a crime scene house, and specialist laboratories. Our experimental ballistics facility will enhance your skills regarding how shooting scenes are investigated and how important ballistic research is undertaken. This one-year MSc offers a clear route into crime scene management, forensic science and broader science-based roles. It also supports progression to further study, such as PhDs, or teaching and science communication careers.
