This course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills relevant to the study of human biology and applies rigorous scientific techniques to the forensic investigation of a range of criminal offences. This can help prepare you for a career in a variety of biology and forensic roles. This course could lead you into a lifelong fascination with human biology and the scientific investigation of crime. You will learn all about human physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology/genetics, microbiology and how each of these disciplines can be applied in forensic science.

Previous graduates of this course have secured laboratory positions with forensic providers in both Government and private sector organisations while others have secured posts in biology labs with companies such as The Binding Site and Severn Trent water. Graduates not wishing to work in laboratory based occupations have previously secured posts in scientific equipment and medical sales, where they can apply their scientific training to real-world problem solving. A number of graduates have also gone on to work in managerial positions where their numeracy and analytical skills have been of benefit.
