Criminology & Forensic Investigations
Assessment
Assessment methods have been designed to build on the skills and knowledge developed within the modules each year. The practical nature of the assessment methods will equip students with proactive and reactive skills and thought processes, which it is anticipated will render graduates of this degree programme eminently employable. Such methods include networking portfolios, court attendance reports, role play, cross examination and multiple choice questions.

Introduction to criminology, crime scene investigation, introduction to biology and introduction to policing studies.
