188 | Forensic Science
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, digital forensics
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. Working in these facilities enables a smooth
transition from the academic environment
into employment post-graduation.
Our modern laboratories contain state of
the art analytical instrumentation as well as
the industry standard equipment you would
expect to find in a forensic laboratory. Our
Crime Scene House and extensive outdoor
spaces allow you to practise the skills you
developed in the laboratory in real world
settings. keele.ac.uk/forensic
