Forensics is an amazing course to study with a blended mix of lectures and labs, you are sure to have a broad knowledge about every main path of forensics. The staff are very knowledgeable and supportive and the sessions are action-packed and full of useful information. Labs are weekly and are critical in ensuring we know how to practically handle things we only knew theoretically before. There are also lots of extra resources and sessions to further develop your knowledge and passion for Forensics.

I haven't had much of a discussion with my personal tutor. the lectures are occasionally very dry especially in the first modules but that is mostly due to course content (slightly hard to hear a few lecturers sitting at the back of the lecture theatre). read more
