Forensic anthropology involves examining human remains for medical and legal investigations. This field focuses on determining identity, examining questionable fatalities, and recognizing individuals in mass casualty incidents.
As a specialized forensic science discipline, it demands extensive training in anatomy and bone structure. Determining the identity of the deceased is essential for the resolution of legal cases.
In your initial two years, you'll take courses in the School of Life Sciences, building a strong foundation in physiology, biochemistry, and related biomedical fields.
As you advance through the program, you'll gain comprehensive knowledge of human development from embryonic stages to adulthood. You'll practice complete body dissection using our Thiel-preserved cadavers and master essential anatomical techniques.
