New Forensic course for professionals

A new degree course specifically for working Crime Scene Investigators is being launched by the University of 海角直播 in May.

The BSc (Hons) Forensic Investigation degree is designed to further a Crime Scene Investigator鈥檚 understanding of the processes applied to evidence both at the crime scene and back in the laboratory. The four modules that make up the course are: Crime Scene Surveying & Plan Drawing, Analysis & Investigation of Fire Scenes, Forensic Analysis and Managing a Major Crime Scene. An individual dissertation focussed on the workplace is also required. Ian Pepper, Senior Lecturer and former Crime Scene Investigator and Fingerprint Officer with West Yorkshire Police, said: 鈥淭he main benefit of taking part in this course is one of personal professional development. The Crime Scene Investigator will go from a Diploma in Crime Scene Examination, or similar, to a degree and will be in an even stronger position to carry out their role. We have already had interest from several Police Forces and as a former Crime Scene Investigator myself, I know how useful I would have found this course.鈥�

The BSc (Hons) Forensic Investigation requires each participant to attend approximately one week of intensive lecturers and practical sessions for each module. Course fees are 拢250 per module, plus 拢500 for the dissertation.
