The qualification also opens pathways to further study at MSc or PhD level and to roles in health and safety, trading standards, and academic teaching.

A distinctive aspect of this programme is its accreditation by the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences together with a formal Forensic Science partnership with West Midlands Police, giving students regular exposure to policing procedures and guaranteed professional placements that integrate workplace experience with academic coursework. Placement opportunities are built into each year, ensuring every student gains practical experience in a forensic or policing environment.

The degree is aimed at applicants who have achieved A-levels or equivalent qualifications in subjects such as biology, chemistry or physics and who demonstrate an interest in both scientific investigation and police work.
