This BSc (Hons) Forensic Science program at Teesside University offers a multidisciplinary approach. Alongside acquiring essential forensic science skills, you'll gain comprehensive knowledge in core biology and chemistry disciplines including biochemistry, cellular biology, genetics, molecular biology, toxicology, and analytical chemistry.
Forensic science plays a crucial role in contemporary society and can pave the way for a highly satisfying career. Our program aligns with the competencies needed by today's forensic and graduate scientists. Beyond developing expertise in modern forensic analysis techniques, the course provides foundational training in investigative procedures - from evidence collection to courtroom presentation. Consider criminal investigations: trace evidence like glass fragments, paint chips, fibers, shoe prints, or DNA from bodily fluids can establish connections between individuals or crime scenes. The real challenge lies in selecting which samples to analyze and determining the most effective methods for extracting evidentiary value through examination and interpretation. While mastering critical forensic science skills, the curriculum also deepens your understanding of fundamental subjects such as biochemistry, cellular biology, genetics, molecular biology, toxicology, and analytical chemistry.
