ABOUT
Studying master of Forensic Investigation at Cranfield University in the United Kingdom:
The MSc in Forensic Investigation applies key principles of forensic science to the investigation of crime. It draws upon current forensic methodologies, latest techniques and cutting edge research to explore contemporary issues pertaining to criminal law. Most of our students have an undergraduate degree in Forensic Science, Archaeology or the Life Sciences, but the course is also open to students from a non-science degree or if they have professional equivalent experience. The course is taught by leading academics from multiple forensic disciplines who are both case work and research active, which creates a very engaging and stimulating environment for the students to learn. This also has a huge benefit of bringing in expert guest lecturers from different forensic industries, such as the police or forensic service providers and the defense and security sector. For the students, this gives rise to a broad selection of industry led research projects which exposes the students to real forensic work and increase their future employment opportunities. This course has a highly hands-on practical approach for example, in the evidence collection module we run a series of practical workshops where students will learn key skills fundamental to crime scene investigation. We set up stimulated crimes scene where students will learn to record and recover forensic evidence such as DNA, fingerprints, practice digital photography and drawing sketch plans. Throughout the MSc students will also learn key skills in laboratory analysis of trace evidence, the statistical interpretation of forensic evidence results, and the preparation of an expert witness statement for presentation in a mock court room. Collectively, these are transferable skills which can be readily applied to both the field and laboratory forensic careers which the students wish to pursue. Ultimately, you will become well-rounded candidate which in the competitive file of forensic science is something that future employers will look for. The course is made up of four compulsory modules, twenty four elective modules (which students should choose seven of them), a research project and thesis. Some modules may be taught at Shrivenham. The provided modules may be modified or canceled due to research advances, changes in rules or for various other reasons.
