Forensic and Analytical Science with Industrial Experience MSci
Our Forensic and Analytical Science with Industrial Experience MSci course offers you the opportunity to get a thorough grounding in the principles and practice of forensic science while developing in-depth knowledge of analytical science – the basis of forensic chemistry. Analytical science is also widely used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, hospitals and analytical service laboratories, so this course could help open up a whole range of career opportunities to you. Where this course differs from our BSc(Hons) is that in the third year of this MSci you’ll do a placement year in an industry setting. This focused time spent in an industrial laboratory could be the ideal option for you if you’re looking to stand out from the crowd on graduation. Through our transatlantic placement programme you could have the option to spend this year abroad doing a research project in the forensic science department of an American university.***
As well as getting the chance to develop your practical and problemsolving skills while on placement, we’ve designed the course to be as hands-on as possible throughout. In our specialised labs and crimescene facilities, you’ll be able to get to grips with the tools and processes used in real-life investigations and our simulated scenarios will challenge you to apply your know-how on the spot. Throughout your studies, you’ll be supported by academics and experienced practitioners in forensic science and the course is accredited by the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences. Graduates from this course have gone on to work for organisations such as West Yorkshire Police, Unilever and Eurofins.† †

Nguyen Phuong Nguyen, Forensic and Analytical Science MSci, placement with Forensic Medicine Centre, Vietnam “Having had the experience of working on this placement, I have begun to see the level of commitment and responsibility needed when engaging in multi-disciplinary practice. Specifically, when working with the dead and the law; in the care of speaking for the dead and providing the truth for their family.”
