Science
Forensic science is the application of science
within a legal context and forensic scientists
are key to the criminal justice system in
investigating and helping to prosecute crimes.
This exciting area of science at Keele provides a solid
understanding of relevant sciences through research-led
teaching and a hands-on learning environment. You will gain a
strong understanding of how science is used in a legal context
whilst exploring issues as varied as genetics, toxicology, arson,
ballistics and drug analysis. From the crime scene to the lab
and onto the courtroom, you’ll learn to recover, analyse and
interpret evidence, and to defend it as an expert witness. In an
increasingly globalised world, you’ll consider the importance
of standardising forensic approaches.
Our modern laboratories contain state of the art analytical
instrumentation as well as the industry standard equipment
standard equipment you would expect to find in a forensic
laboratory. Working in these environments facilitates a
smooth transition from the academic environment into
industry post-graduation.
All our routes in Forensic Science are either accredited or
recognised by the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences.
You can also combine Forensic Science with numerous other
subjects as well as having the option to progress on to our
