犯罪学和法医学理学士（荣誉）

我们的犯罪学和法医学课程由活跃的犯罪学家和经验丰富的前法医从业人员教授，将为您提供犯罪研究及其在刑事司法系统中的调查的真知灼见。该课程有两个截然不同的主题：犯罪学主题涵盖犯罪理论，如何监管社会以及监禁量刑的问题和替代方法。法证科学主题涉及在犯罪现场检查和实验室中使用的科学理论和实用技术，可让您查找，检查和解释法庭的证据材料。这样，您将获得大量的动手实验室经验，例如分析化学，血型解释，DNA分析和纤维检查。在第二年学习之后，您将有机会在科学领域进行为期一年的实习。本课程旨在支持和激励您在未来的职业中取得成就
Our Criminology and Forensic Science degree is taught by research-active criminologists and experienced former forensic practitioners and will give you an insight into the study of crime and its investigation within the criminal justice system. The course has two distinct themes – the criminological theme covers the theory of crime, how society is policed and the issues and alternatives to custodial sentencing. The forensic science theme addresses the scientific theory and practical techniques that are used in crime scene examination and the laboratory to allow you to locate, examine and interpret evidential material for the courtroom. In doing so you will be provided with significant hands-on laboratory experience in, for example, analytical chemistry, blood pattern interpretation, DNA analysis and fibre examination. You will have the opportunity to undertake a one-year placement within the scientific field after the second year of study.<br><br>The course has a strong industry-related focus. It includes an optional one-year work placement, STEM ambassador activities, volunteering activities within the local communities, work-based learning and/or study abroad. We offer an innovative approach to work-based learning with an emphasis on problem-solving. The curriculum has been specifically designed to enhance your subject knowledge and practical skills while providing opportunities for personal and professional development. Your positive attitude, ethics and approach is developed through team working, independent learning, professional practice and volunteering opportunities. You will graduate able to articulately and effectively communicate with a wide range of audiences through a variety of platforms. The fundamental practices and procedures of criminology and forensic science, together with logical thinking, attention to detail and a questioning mind, establish transferable skills to a range of careers and disciplines. Confidence, developed through intellectual curiosity, practical and theoretical problem solving, enables criminology and forensic science graduates to respectively interact in professional arenas. Many of our recent alumni now work in roles within the police, forensic science laboratories and analytical chemistry laboratories, criminal justice and social work settings, or in varied careers in teaching, research, local and national government and third sector employment. Others have moved on to postgraduate study.
