Other activities Course type Additional activities include the observation of a post-mortem examination at a local mortuary and a weekend workshop on forensic anthropology and facial reconstruction. You may choose to undertake an escorted, short course at the University of Tennessee Anthropology Centre (“Body Farm”). Entry requirements Teaching and assessment Modules are taught through a combination of lectures, small group tutorials, laboratory work and problem-based learning. Assessment is by examination plus a variety of in-course assignments (such as class tests, critical analysis of journal papers, laboratory reports and posters). You will undertake your final year team projects in the laboratories, often using research facilities and with the support of postgraduate researchers. Students on the major route engage in crime scene examination and prepare illustrated reports on this work. They analyse evidence from crime scenes in the laboratory, evaluate its significance and write an expert witness report on findings which they defend during a cross-examination in a mock court. Skills and careers Our graduates are particularly well placed to progress, not only to a wide range of scientific careers, but also to administrative and management roles where communication skills, analytical and problem solving abilities are greatly valued.
