Diploma In Forensics

Learn all about the fascinating subject of Forensic Science.

A footprint in the soil. Bloodstains on broken glass. A piece of material hanging on a thorn.

To the forensic investigator, each clue tells a story, matching the crime to the perpetrator as clearly as though he'd left his photograph on the kitchen table.

No wonder forensics is such a popular course. It combines state-of-the-art knowledge with the mystery of a crime novel.

But you don't have to wade through endless academic material to understand the subject.

We explain everything clearly and concisely. That means you absorb the information faster.

Plus we make the subject interesting. Some courses manage to make forensics dull. And that's not our way. All our course material is rigorously tested to make sure it's lively and clear.

So if you want to learn more about forensics, this is the course for you.
