MSc Forensic Science

At the end of the first semester, our students do a major crime scene exercise, which is where we set up a series of major crime scenes. Students work in crime scene teams to process the scene, search it, recover all of the evidence and bring it back to the lab where we analyse all of the evidence as part of that case.
