Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Forensic Science

Program Overview

The University of Wolverhampton was the first university in the West Midlands to receive full accreditation from the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences (CSFS) for BSc Forensic Science. A recent surveillance visit, re-accrediting the course, praised us for the quality of the award. It is also recognised by the Royal Society for Chemistry (RSC) as meeting the requirements for Associate Membership of the RSC.

Our forensic science graduates have excellent job prospects. According to Discover Uni, 90% of our graduates go on to work or further study within 15 months of graduating, with 75% of graduates in highly skilled work.

Our Forensic Science degree has gained 100% student satisfaction in the most recent National Student Survey (NSS) results – our excellent facilities, inspiring teaching and informative placement opportunities provide the perfect blend to help ensure your future success.

Forensic Science at the University of Wolverhampton will expose you to a diverse range of scientific disciplines and skills, enabling you to work in a variety of roles within forensic science, while also equipping you with transferable skills to work in a wide variety of other roles and areas.

Forensic science takes scientific knowledge and methodology to answer specific questions in a legal investigation, in order to assist a court to decide what has happened. Considering the whole forensic process, from crime scene to court, this course will enable you to develop your skills in scientific and critical thinking, as well as independent study. You will also gain skills to record, recover, examine, and analyse evidence, to interpret the meaning of your findings and then communicate those findings and the underpinning science so that they are understandable to a range of audiences.

In addition, if you choose to undertake a sandwich placement, you will develop your technical skills in the workplace and integrate knowledge gained in the theoretical aspects of the course into the professional environment.
