BSc (Hons) Forensic Science with Criminology with Foundation Year

University of Greenwich International College

Laboratory forensic science combined with criminology, after a preparatory year, is the scope of BSc (Hons) Forensic Science with Criminology with Foundation Year at the Greenwich campus in London. Course notes describe practical crime-scene learning in a dedicated facility, including vehicle examination, laboratory spaces, decomposition resources and a mock mortuary, alongside Disaster Victim Identification scenarios. Year Zero entry is five GCSEs at grades A*–C, with each application assessed individually. This is the combined award; the single-subject forensic science foundation course is separate. Teaching is full-time weekday study, with a January 2027 intake. AF Education does not promise investigative jobs. England-resident UK home students can get free AF Education help with the application and Student Finance England.
