Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Forensic Investigation

Program Overview

BSc Forensic Investigation explores the exciting and dynamic intersection between science and the criminal justice system. By the end of your degree, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of how forensics is governed within the UK, as well as global perspectives on techniques and international standards, enabling you to gain a holistic understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks.

Our carefully crafted multidisciplinary and industry-responsive course is designed to inspire you to achieve your career aspirations and equip you with the knowledge and skills to embark on your chosen career within the forensic field and beyond.

You will learn and develop skills related to a wide range of forensic disciplines including (but not limited to) crime scene processing, forensic biology (DNA, body fluids, hairs and fibres, blood pattern analysis), forensic chemistry (toxicology, drugs analysis) forensic entomology, marks and impressions, fire and explosion investigations, and other specialist disciplines.

You will gain hands-on experience in a wide range of forensic and investigative techniques, including crime scene investigation and management, analysis and interpretation of forensic evidence, and the presentation of forensic evidence within the courtroom. From learning these innovative techniques, this will enable you to develop a deep appreciation for the critical role that forensic science plays within the criminal justice system.

A unique element to studying a Forensic Investigation degree at CCCU is that you will have access to our £65 million industry-standard facilities including a range of simulation spaces such as the Hydra suite, crime scene flats, and our award-winning Anatomy Learning Centre.

What's more, the diversity of modules offered as part of the degree means that you will have the opportunity to explore subjects that are of interest to you and develop key skills that will enable you to shape your career.

Throughout your degree you will develop key employability skills and hands on experience that will help you gain a competitive edge and shine out. Our graduates have embarked on careers, from working within Police forces (UK, Ireland, and international forces) and UK Border Force to joining the United Nations and National Crime Agency.

Additional Information

Careers

This course provides an excellent grounding for any career that involves the collection, analysis and interpretation of information or evidence, as these skills are taught in core modules and transferable to many careers. The graduate (or key) skills that are routinely required by employers are embedded into the Forensic Investigation curriculum and therefore, graduates are normally able to evidence these skills, preparing them for a range of careers and this is evidenced by ex-students who have secured positions in forensic organisations, police forces, prisons, medical laboratories, schools, universities and many went on to do higher degree study.
One of our students volunteered for Kent Police for one year and was placed within the CID office during that time, thereby liaising with detectives and gaining first-hand experience of criminal investigation.
Several of our students have become special constables and are therefore operational police officers while doing their degree course, which provides invaluable experience and also provides them with the opportunity to network and apply for jobs advertised internally within the police. Other students have secured work with emergency services, such as policing, paramedic and within the fire service, as these services value the investigation nature of the programme and the resilience of the graduates produced.
