Fascinated by the forensic techniques you see in films and on TV? Or perhaps you’re eager to learn more about the scientific principles behind them? <br/><br/>From fingerprint development (chemical and physical) to spot tests for blood stains, refractive index, chromatography, spectroscopy and x-ray fluorescence, you’ll explore a host of methods used within forensic science labs. <br/><br/>**Why Study Forensic and Analytical Science BSc(Hons) at the University of Huddersfield?** <br/>You’ll study from purpose-built, on-campus forensic science labs and specially made crime scene facilities, with the course covering a host of modules. Practical work on this course is supported by lectures on forensic awareness and will explore how forensic scientists interact with the police force and other bodies. <br/><br/>This course can be taken over three years or four; choose a four-year degree course and you can gain real-world experience on a rewarding placement in a relevant industry setting within forensic and analytical science. <br/><br/>You be supported by academics and experienced practitioners in forensic science and analytical science along the way. Mock criminal court hearings and organised outdoor crime scenes will also help extend your understanding of the subject. <br/><br/>Career prospects for graduates cover a broad range of fields, too, from scene of crime officers (SOCO), forensic toxicologists and bloodstain pattern analysts to working in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, hospital or analytical service laboratories and beyond. <br/><br/>**Professional Bodies** <br/>This course was last accredited in autumn 2018 by the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences and for six years thereafter. <br/><br/>**Why Huddersfield?** <br/>Huddersfield’s vibrant and friendly campus is a great place from which to study, while the town itself offers lots to see and do, with good transport links in and around the area.
