Why Study Forensic
Science at Keele?
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.
The Forensic Science degree
programmes at Keele are designed
to provide you with an outstanding
understanding of forensic science whilst
exposing you to a range of facilities
and techniques you will find in a typical
forensic laboratory. We provide a friendly
teaching environment that allows you to
develop your knowledge and skills under
the guidance of academics and forensic
practitioners. We provide a range of
Forensic Science programmes to suit
your interests and career aspirations.
You will be taught in our new Central
Science Laboratories and crime scene
facilities. The laboratories contain a range
of modern analytical instrumentation
that is commonly used in a commercial
forensic environment. This will allow
you to gain experience on the type of
equipment you will be using in your
future careers. Having a crime scene
house allows us to provide context to our
teaching and gives you experience in
a typical environment encountered by
a forensic scientist.
The teaching environment within the
school is very friendly and supportive.
All academics in Forensic Science have
an open door policy so you are able to
seek help and advice when you need it.
You will also be supported by a team of
technical staff and demonstrators who
are also key sources of help and advice,
particularly in the laboratory.
You will also be allocated a personal
tutor when you arrive at Keele who will
monitor your progress throughout your
studies and is another source of help
and advice. All of this helps explain
why we have been voted as a top 3
provider of Forensic Science programmes
in the UK for 2020 by the Complete
University Guide.
