Forensic scientists provide impartial evidence in criminal investigations through their scientific expertise. They work in laboratories, at crime scenes, and in courtrooms, utilising their highly developed biology and chemistry skills. Their highly detailed work encompasses elements of chemistry and biology applied in areas such as toxicology, DNA analysis, and trace evidence.
At Lincoln, students are taught by experienced academics and practitioners with specialist expertise in analytical and organic chemistry, pharmacy, entomology, anthropology, and molecular biology. Students will be encouraged to engage in an interdisciplinary research culture and to work alongside academics who strive to advance forensic science techniques.
Teaching incorporates forensic principles, operating within the context of legal considerations, the role of the expert witness, and the presentation of evidence. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the processes involved in providing impartial evidence in criminal investigations, from crime scenes to laboratory and, finally, to the courtroom.
Students on this course should typically expect 350 hours of contact time over the duration of the programme. The amount of contact time will vary depending on the various module option choices chosen.
Postgraduate level study involves a significant proportion of independent study, exploring the material covered in lectures and seminars. For every hour spent in class, students are expected to spend at least two to three hours in independent study.
The composition and delivery for the course break down differently for each module and may include lectures, seminars, workshops, independent study, laboratory practicals, research, and one-to-one learning.
† Some courses may offer optional modules. The availability of optional modules may vary from year to year and will be subject to minimum student numbers being achieved. This means that the availability of specific optional modules cannot be guaranteed. Optional module selection may also be affected by staff availability.
Assessment methods on the programme may include coursework, examinations, presentations, practical sessions, or work contributions to the module. Details will be provided in a module handbook given to students at the beginning of the academic year.
Assessment Feedback
The University of Lincoln's policy on assessment feedback aims to ensure that academics will return in-course assessments to students promptly – usually within 15 working days of the submission date.
For eligible students, there are more ways than ever before to fund your postgraduate study, whether you want to do a taught or research course. For those wishing to undertake a Master's course, UK students can apply for a loan as a contribution towards the course and living costs. Loans are also available to those who wish to undertake doctoral study. The University offers a number of scholarships and funded studentships for those interested in postgraduate study.
For each course, there may be additional costs. These may be with regard to the specific clothing, materials, or equipment required. Some courses provide opportunities for you to undertake fieldwork or field trips. Where these are compulsory, the cost for travel and accommodation will be covered by the University and is included in the course fee. Where these are optional, students will normally be required to pay their own transport, accommodation, and general living costs.
With regards to text books, the University provides students who enrol with a comprehensive reading list and you will find that our extensive library holds either material or virtual versions of the core texts. However, students may prefer to purchase some of these for themselves and will be responsible for this cost.
This programme aims to prepare students for a career in forensic science. The specialist skills and technical knowledge that students have the opportunity to acquire may be transferable to roles in laboratory research, law enforcement, customs and excise, and investigatory agencies in the private sector. The programme can also be excellent preparation for advanced study at the doctoral level.
First or upper second-class honours degree in a relevant subject. Students holding a lower second-class degree may be eligible subject to interviews.
