MSc in Forensic Science (Analysis/Toxicology) in London United Kingdom | Kingston University London

Forensic Science (Analysis) explores cutting-edge analytical, spectroscopic, and separation methods applied in real-world cases, including techniques like Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LCMS/MS) and Inductively-Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS). Students develop skills to examine and evaluate substances like illegal drugs, textile fibers, and firearms, while also performing investigations into arson and explosive incidents.

Forensic Science (Toxicology) provides comprehensive education in pharmacology and analytical chemistry. The curriculum covers drug effects on biological systems and medical applications, with special emphasis on forensic toxicology for criminal and traffic cases, as well as athletic doping control. Numerous faculty members bring firsthand experience as forensic practitioners or expert witnesses and remain actively involved in research.

Kingston University features an on-campus crime scene simulation house. This facility allows students to apply investigative techniques in reconstructed crime scenarios. The surrounding garden area serves as an excavation site for the forensic archaeology team's fieldwork exercises.
