Level Five Applying for a full-time Foundation Degree at City College Plymouth through UCAS? Our UCAS institution code has changed - please use C83 for all courses, not our old code which was P60. If you've already started applying for a course with us under P60, please log in to your UCAS account and change the institution code before submitting your application.
  Forensic science is one of the most fascinating areas of applied science - the use of scientific procedures to produce evidence in a court of law. This Foundation Degree provides knowledge and skills appropriate to an increasingly important area of science. It covers the major scientific disciplines involved in the investigation of crime. You will study in the College's specialist forensic science laboratories using modern forensic equipment, and put your skills to practice in our mock crime scene house. On this course you will have the opportunity to work closely with practising forensic experts from a range of organisations, including Devon & Cornwall Constabulary, Crime Scene Investigators and Forensic Practitioners.
