Analyse the science behind a crime scene and explore the fascinating complexity of the human brain to gain the practical, analytical, problem-solving and quantitative skills to pursue a science-based career in a variety of sectors.<br/><br/>**Why choose this course?**<br/><br/><br/>- No. 1 in England for Forensic Science (Complete University Guide, 2022)<br/><br/><br/>- Top 20 in the UK for Neuroscience (Guardian University League Table, 2021)<br/><br/><br/>- Our 600-acre campus offers fantastic indoor and outdoor simulated crime scene facilities to develop your practical and professional skills<br/><br/><br/>- Use a wide variety of industry-standard spectroscopic, analytical and forensic instrumentation<br/><br/><br/>- Recognised by the Chartered Society of Forensic Science. Professional accreditation pathways are available<br/><br/><br/>Our Forensic Science and Neuroscience BSc will provide you with a breadth of knowledge and wide range of skills across two fascinating subject areas.<br/><br/>The forensic science element of the course focuses on the entire forensic process, from evidence collection, analysis and interpretation to court reporting. Initial modules including forensic chemistry, forensic biology and criminalistic science, will build your understanding in the key topics underpinning the subject. You will also gain valuable laboratory and crime scene experience to help you stay ahead in this fast-moving science.<br/><br/>In neuroscience you will explore a mixture of core modules that will provide you with a grounding in basic biological techniques, an introduction to the core concepts of neuroscience and the practical skills required for a career within the field. During your first and second year, you will take laboratory classes most weeks to develop practical, analytical, observational and interpretative skills. As you progress on the course you will explore how the brain develops, the mechanisms underlying learning and memory, how drugs affect the nervous system, the anatomy of the human and animal nervous systems and how electrical activity in the brain works to control function.<br/><br/>**About Keele**<br/><br/>Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University.
