About Forensic Science, BSc (Hons) - at Kingston University London

This course prepares you for a career as a forensic scientist using case studies, evidence interpretation, fieldwork and laboratory training covering all aspects of investigating criminal offences. These include crime scene processing, forensic archaeology, drugs, toxicology, DNA profiling, body fluids, entomology, fibres, fire investigation and ballistics.

You will also have an introduction to criminal law, which includes cross-examination in a Crown Court setting.

Specialist topics include blood pattern analysis (BPA), gunshot residue detection, counterfeits and forgeries, and the analysis of trace evidence. In addition, this course provides additional industry recognised certificates in BPA, forensic toxicology, and DNA profiling at no extra cost.

We have recently updated our modules to enhance student-centred teaching and align course content with industry needs, helping you become a future-proof graduate.

We’ve received three commendations from the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences for our state-of-the-art technology, innovative student training, and enrichment activities with a strong employability focus, including guest lectures, paid placements, and collaborations with law students at mock trials.
