The world is rapidly changing, with ever more sophisticated methods required to solve crimes. Harnessing Derby’s specialist facilities, students will be guided through the full range of forensic practices and processes – from crime scene analysis to presenting evidence in court. Students will investigate mock crime scenes including break-ins, assaults, road accidents, and drug and computer crime. Students will present their findings in Derby’s newly refurbished courtroom and will be cross-examined by barristers just as they would be in the world of work. Using the latest biological and analytical equipment, students will have the opportunity to develop high-level skills in areas such as fingerprint, drug, DNA, bodily fluids and blood pattern analysis. Students can also explore how entomology, anthropology and taphonomic processes can assist forensic investigations, and there is the opportunity to observe a post mortem. On this course, students will work alongside forensic scientists, fingerprint experts, renowned researchers, police officers, lawyers and judges for current and fresh perspectives on the role of the forensic scientist.
