You will study the theories, methods and practice of archaeology including laboratory analysis of artefacts and skeletal remains, survey, excavation and computing techniques, and contemporary debates in archaeological thought. Forensic Investigation
Take a step towards a career that really makes a difference to people in a society where crime is a part of everyday life.

During the course you will have the opportunity to gain extensive knowledge of forensic theories, practices, procedures, cases and the criminal justice system. You will also develop practical skills using a range of mock crime scenes, laboratories, policing and court facilities, supported by experienced staff who are ex-forensic practitioners. Our students say that this course is both engaging and exciting, and the extensive experience of the teaching team is invaluable. Current forensic professionals confirm that the course is accurate, innovative and relevant to a range of careers.
