Course summary

A Forensic Science degree at ARU will teach you the principles of forensic science, from crime scene to court room. With a focus on chemical and biological analysis, you’ll find out what that evidence means. We look at ways to ‘read’ data, interpret the results and present your evidence in court. Accredited by the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences, the professional body for forensic practitioners, meaning you'll have maximum opportunity to gain essential skills for a career in this field. Designed and led by an international, multidisciplinary teaching team with expertise in analytical chemistry, forensic anthropology, toxicology, forensic genetics and crime scene examination. Engage in innovative ‘Live Briefs’: take on real-world challenges and present modern solutions that directly impact and benefit prospective employers.Obtain hands-on experience working in forensic scenarios in our crime scene rooms and using the latest specialist equipment in our SuperLab, and gain courtroom experience during a mock court session. You’ll get hands-on with specialist analytical equipment, under the guidance of expert tutors. And you’ll learn outside the classroom too, with visits to law courts and a local mortuary, and opportunities to work with local police forces and forensic labs. You’ll also examine ‘real’ forensic samples including ignitable liquid residues, and trace evidence such as paint and fibres. Together, we’ll explore techniques including microscopy, microspectrophotometry, spectroscopy and chromatography and get hands-on experience of specialist instruments for biological analysis. You’re free to book additional time with this equipment outside of lessons.
