Bachelor in Forensic Science Bsc Hons

At University of Hull, tuition costs 18,500 GBP per year.

Step into a replica crime scene training facility to process evidence, or master the art of expert testimony within a realistic mock courtroom. This programme is designed for those who view forensic science as the intersection of cutting-edge biology, chemistry, and rigorous analytical investigation. Rather than just theory, you will engage in high-stakes practical casework, ranging from the recovery of finger marks through glove polymers to the investigation of eDNA and the complexities of organ decomposition.

Accredited by the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences, the course ensures your training aligns with industry standards, including work in UKAS-accredited laboratory environments. You will be mentored by a faculty that includes active researchers and former practitioners—such as forensic biologists and drug analysts—who bring real-world investigative experience directly into the classroom. With strong ties to Humberside Police and the Hull York Medical School, you will develop the critical thinking, communication, and technical skills necessary to transition from the laboratory bench to the witness stand.
