Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Criminology with Forensic Investigation (LF34)

The BSc (Hons) Criminology and Forensic Investigation at the University of West London focuses on the key elements of the criminal justice system, criminology and forensic investigation.

The interdisciplinary field of criminology enables students to explore topics such as offenders, victims and the motivations for crime. Students will study modules that examine police powers, how crimes are investigated, the role of the police in society and contemporary issues linked to law enforcement.

The forensic investigation of crime explores the role of science in the investigative process, including its achievements, complexities and challenges affecting justice.

Using both theoretical and practical approaches, the course provides authentic learning experiences such as crime scene analysis, police interviewing and presenting evidence in court.

These elements offer students a comprehensive understanding of how the justice system operates, preparing them for future careers while providing networking opportunities and insights into criminal justice on a global scale.
