Master of Science - Forensic Science (with Advanced Practice)

The MSc Forensic Science concentrates on practices, procedures and analytical techniques used within forensic science, and how they are applied in support of the investigation of crime.

This course is accredited by The Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences. On completing this course, students will be able to demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of forensic science and how scientific methods are applied to the investigation of crime. They benefit from Teesside's links with practitioners and other professional organizations relevant to the field of forensic science. Key members of staff are former forensic scientists or crime scene scientists with considerable operational experience. Expect to carry out analytical and practical work in the University’s on-campus forensic facilities including specialist analytical laboratories, crime scene house laboratory and forensic chemistry and biology laboratories.

The two-year master’s degree with advanced practice enhances students' qualification by adding a vocational or research based internship to the one-year master’s programme.
