This Forensic Science course we will examine the fascinating subject of Forensic Science.  Forensic science can be simply defined as 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 useful for 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.

This fascinating subject provides a host of exciting career opportunities for those who are appropriately qualified and motivated. If you would like to find out more about becoming a Forensic Scientist please visit Forensic Science Centre.
