Forensic Fun!

The event will appeal to anyone connected with law enforcement or legal work, or interested in a career. There will be classes including 'Spotting Forged Documents and Banknotes', with explanations of methods used by forgers and detectives, 'Fingerprints – the Electronic Scanner of the Last Century', and 'Photofits'. There will be a 'Detective Adventure Mystery' for the younger (and older) visitors, and a tour around the University's Criminology Museum.

The day has been organised by the Forensic Science and Criminology Department as a way to underline the broad panoply of subjects that coalesce into modern detection methods. Aside from a fundamental grasp of the sciences, a student needs to understand law, politics and police methods. All of these disciplines are taught on this course, which will give successful students a path to even higher qualifications.
