Additional Information:This module looks at advanced level crime scene analysis and recent advances in analysis techniques applicable to forensic science. It extends the basic concepts and methods previously introduced to the level required by the professional forensic scientist. Skills developed during this module include: analysing and solving problems, critical appraisal of literature, written communication, numerical reasoning, information and communication technology, as well as subject-specific skills. A number of developing forensic science areas will be discussed in relation to the current literature.
