Course summary

On our Forensic Science (Foundation Entry) course you’ll get a grounding in the kinds of skills you’ll need if you want to become a forensic scientist or a crime scene investigator. Throughout your foundation year you’ll enhance your scientific knowledge and we’ll teach you a wide range of practical laboratory techniques. You’ll get insights into the world of forensic investigation, the management and processing of crime scenes, and analysing evidence in the laboratory. Foundation entry degree courses like this one are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree but you don’t have the qualifications needed to directly enter the full honours degree programme. During the foundation year we’ll equip you with the essential knowledge and understanding of theoretical and practical science skills you’ll need to succeed at degree level. When you progress to our full BSc (Hons) Forensic Science degree you’ll have access to some fantastic facilities, including our crime scene houses, a vehicle examination bay, and a blood spatter pattern analysis suite, further enhanced by purpose built facilities at our pioneering Lancashire Forensic Science Academy (LFSA) partnership.
