BSc(Hons) Forensic Science is accredited by The Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences. It was designed with input from professional forensic scientists to give students a deep understanding of the way science is used to investigate crime.

With a strong emphasis on problem-solving and communicating scientific findings, students will study everything from crime scene investigation and laboratory analysis, to interpreting, evaluating and presenting evidence. Learn to use forensic instruments in UWE's industry-standard laboratories.

Apply scientific knowledge at simulated crime scenes in UWE's specially-adapted Crime Scene House. Present evidence and respond to questions in the mock courtroom.

Guest lectures from inspirational professionals will give students insights into specialist topics and they can tailor the degree to suit their specific interests.

Students will be encouraged to do summer internships and placements, and they can apply to spend a year studying abroad. They could work with forensic science providers or the Police, or as a laboratory analyst. Many students do postgraduate study, particularly in toxicology, forensic anthropology, osteology and archaeology. That analytical approach to problem-solving will be just as valued in other sectors, like teaching or the legal profession.
