Forensic Biologists are in high demand, whether they are working on criminal investigations to analyze crime scenes and identify victims, working in the field of endangered species to identify illegal trading, or investigating diseases. You will gain a thorough understanding of forensic biology while being taught by leading academics, experienced practitioners, and a variety of professional guest lecturers.
In your final year, gain invaluable lab and fieldwork experience, such as mock crime scenes and disasters, as well as live-fire exercises.
Collect and analyze biological evidence using sophisticated lab and field equipment, write detailed logs and reports, and even collaborate with staff on current forensic research projects.
In your second and final years, select subject modules that reflect your own interests, passions, and career goals.
