Curriculum
Core modules:
- Advanced Crime Scene Science - A study of complex crime scenes using UWE Bristol's very own Crime Scene House and vehicle examination area. You can also examine a crime scene following a simulated arson incident.
- Forensic Biology and Genetics - Considering a wide range of types of biological evidence with an emphasis on DNA profiling, including advanced topics such as the interpretation of mixed profiles.
- Forensic Analysis and Toxicology - A study of advanced issues in analytical science that relate to the main chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques with a particular focus on sampling and sample preparation, and interpretation of results. This is especially important in the field of Forensic Toxicology, which features prominently in this module.
- Research Methods and Practical Skills - Preparation for planning and carrying out your research project, including statistical analysis techniques.
- Research Project - An independent laboratory-based project in an area linked to the core areas of the taught course.
The research project is undertaken for the MSc award. Students carry out the project supervised by specialist subject tutors at UWE Bristol, or on placement with one of our partner forensic providers.
