Do you envisage yourself in a white suit, with latex gloves and lots of plastic bags? Are you hooked on CSI Miami or CSI New York? Forensic science is the scientific method of gathering and examining information about the past which is then used in a court of law. This course will cover the key knowledge and skills required for students interested in pursuing a career in this fascinating and gripping topic area, which also includes aspects of science, law and psychology. Forensic scientists use principles of biology, chemistry and maths, and a range of techniques, to obtain and analyse evidence from a variety of sources – including blood and other body fluids, hairs, textile fibres, glass fragments and tyre marks. As a forensic scientist, your main role would be to look for evidence to link a suspect with a crime scene. However, your duties could vary depending on your specialism. If you enjoy science and want to help solve crimes, this job could be perfect for you. This course could be your springboard to a better you. If you have an enquiring mind, a passion for science, a fascination with solving puzzles, with collecting all the minute details to find an answer, and keep a keen eye on developments in the scientific world? Then this is the ideal solution.On this course you will:

Great guidance with the feedback which was timely and fair.
I dreaded going to college – so as an alternative I went with Oxbridge and studied at home. Set myself reasonable deadlines and made sure I stuck to 1 hour per evening and a full day Saturday of studying. I rewarded myself with a few pints on a Saturday evening!
Very interesting course! Pleased with my result!
I’m a few months into this course and have to say i am really enjoying it. I have studied with Oxbridge before and found them to be wonderful – supportive and efficient. This course is really interesting and i love studying it.
Deciding to enrol on this course with Oxbridge has literally been the best thing I’ve done – the set up of home learning has really worked for me and I do wish I had done it sooner, but if I had maybe I wouldn’t have been so dedicated to it. I certainly would recommend this college and course. They are very flexible in the way things are done, my tutor has been very supportive, its been so far highly enjoyable.
