BSc Chemistry with Forensic Analysis F1F4

Full Time: 3 Years
Study with award-winning academics, learn about DNA fingerprinting, forensic pathology and crime scene analysis and graduate with a solid foundation for a future career in Forensic Science.
During your first two years you will learn the core subjects that all chemists need to know. Topics include trends in the periodic table, carbonyl group chemistry and chemical kinetics.
You will also take specialised modules in forensic analysis where much of the material is taught by specialists from outside the University, including those who have experience of working with forensics and the police.
In your final year you will study more advanced topics influenced by the cutting-edge chemistry taking place around you. The Department's staff specialise in a number of areas including nanotechnology, synthesis, polymers and advanced materials, surface science and forensic analysis, providing a wide range of options for your final-year research project.
Alongside your final-year project you will carry out a team-based mini project in forensic analysis.
All our chemistry courses are very flexible and, depending on your grades, you can transfer between them at the end of your first or second year.
