Location of University of Bradford
Forensic Archaeology is the specialist application of archaeological techniques to the search and recovery of evidential material from crime scenes, often but not always related to buried human remains. This course combines approaches from different disciplines to provide students with a comprehensive forensic skill set.
It is essential that forensic archaeologists are able to appreciate their role within a wider police investigation and have a detailed understanding of crime scene management procedures.
The discipline of Forensic Archaeology in the United Kingdom is defined by the Council for the Registration of Forensic Practitioners (CRFP); this course has been developed with specific CRFP criteria in mind.
The course is underpinned by modules on Crime Scene Management and English Law delivered by West Yorkshire Police and Bradford School of Law.
The course will:
* Provide graduates with advanced practical, analytical and interpretative skills in forensic archaeology
* Provide training in discipline skills to enable graduates to pursue careers in Forensic Archaeology and Crime Scene Investigation (CSI)
* Prepare students for careers in non-cognate fields
Special Features * The course provides hands-on experience utilising simulated complex, multi-scene crime scene scenarios and is based upon direct case experience by the principal tutors working with UK police forces
* Flexible design means that the MSc award can include either a substantial research dissertation or a period of enhanced professional training
* The course can be studied full-time over 12 months or by flexible study up to 5 years
* First destination figures indicate that about 85% of postgraduates in Archaeological Sciences achieve work or further studies in the discipline or cognate areas
Collaborative Partners This course is delivered in collaboration with West Yorkshire Police and Bradford School of Law.
