**Go beyond the theory and gain practical experience of crime scene investigation, lab analysis and how to present evidence in court.**
In short, you'll gain the skills to become a competent and confident forensic scientist.
- Become proficient with the theory and application of forensic laboratory methods.
- Learn how to interpret evidence and present your findings in scientific, medical and legal contexts.
You'll also be able to utilise the range of relevant expertise and facilities at Hull. You'll relish our relationships with chemistry, social sciences, exercise science and psychology while learning in an environment that lends itself to the study of humans in health and disease.
We offer a foundation year to boost your skills and knowledge if you don't quite meet our academic entry requirements.
