Forensic Science Diploma

During this Forensic Science Diploma, we will examine the fascinating subject of Forensic Science. Simply defined, Forensic science is the application of science to the law. In criminal cases forensic scientists are often involved in the search for, and examination of, physical traces which might be of use when establishing or excluding an association between someone suspected of committing a crime and the scene of the crime or victim. Such traces commonly include blood and other body fluids, hairs, textile fibres from clothing etc., materials used in buildings such as paint and glass, footwear, tool and tyre marks, flammable substances used to start fires and so on. Sometimes the scientist will visit the scene to advise about the likely sequence of events, any indicators as to who the perpetrator might be, and to join in the initial search for evidence. Other forensic scientists analyse suspected drugs of abuse, specimens from people thought to have taken them or to have been driving after drinking too much alcohol, or to have been poisoned. Yet others specialise in firearms, explosives, or documents whose authenticity is questioned.

This fascinating subject provides no end of exciting career opportunities for those who are appropriately qualified and motivated.
