Forensic Science
Explore how Physics, Chemistry and Biology come together in forensic investigations. Through case studies and simulated investigations, apply scientific knowledge to analyse evidence, solve problems and uncover how science can help reveal the truth behind a crime.
Forensic Science focuses on the breadth and application of scientific knowledge in a forensic context, integrating concepts from Physics, Chemistry and Biology to investigate real-world scenarios. Through simulated crime scenes, case studies and hands-on investigations, students will apply scientific concepts to collect, analyse and interpret physical, chemical and biological evidence.
Students will develop skills in scientific reasoning, evidence analysis, problem-solving and critical thinking while exploring how the three sciences work together in forensic investigations. The module also provides opportunities to consider the reliability, limitations and ethical implications of forensic evidence and its role in the pursuit of justice.
Students taking triple science (Physics, Biology and Chemistry) cannot offer this module.
