This unit provides a broad introduction to forensic science and emphasises the multidisciplinary nature of forensics. The scientific disciplines that may be applied to solving crime are introduced and explored using case studies and examples. Forensic science professionals present guest lectures to provide students with a ‘real world’ perspective. The unit material is presented in lectures/workshops and weekly reading and supported by simple laboratory sessions.
Lectures are provided by experts from a range of real life forensic, or related, laboratories and organisations.
