2 undergraduate courses. Our courses have acquired a strong reputation and they derive benefit from the successes of strong contributions from the School of Biomedical Sciences. Forensic investigation draws on virtually every branch of science including all of the disciplines of chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics, and those derived from them, such as medicine, computing, engineering and archaeology. The discipline also encompasses subjects which are better defined within the humanities and arts including for example psychology, ethics and law, and a great many vocational subjects such as profiling, photography, nursing and reconstruction. By far the greatest requirement of the professional forensic and police scientific sectors in addressing crimes against a person (serious crime) and identifying individuals are skills in the biosciences, and for crimes against property (volume crime), the skills of the chemical scientist. The Bradford course in Forensic and Medical Sciences has been designed to deliver education and training in the essential core biomedical and forensic sciences to meet these requirements, especially the former, to integrate forensic investigation within each year of the course, to deliver a wide range of transferable skills, many of which are embedded within the scientific programme as well as being acquired through modules in professional development, and to provide you with opportunities to focus on topics of particular interest in your final year of study. Degrees based on the biosciences prepare graduates for a wide range of careers including those in the professional medical and forensic sectors because of their broad basis and application. On the MSci course, you will spend all four years of the course in full-time academic study. This route is particularly suited to students who aspire to a career in a research environment; indeed as part of your Stage 4 studies you will undertake a significant research project on a subject of your own choosing over the entire second semester. Programme Aims The programme is intended to: provide you with a comprehensive knowledge and systematic understanding of aspects of the Biomedical Sciences and Forensic Investigation and Interpretation, and enable you to apply these to forensic examination and analysis; provide you with a supportive and structured environment in which you are encouraged to develop the independent study skills required for lifelong learning; develop your abilities for both team-working and autonomous learning, through directed study, through dissertative and practical forensic investigation and project work, and prepare you for life-long learning; provide you with opportunities to develop and demonstrate critical thinking and interpretative skills through independent investigation of a forensic topic and the underlying biomedical sciences; enable you to develop skills in a range of analytical techniques essential in analytical, biomedical and forensic investigation; provide you with opportunities to develop a wide range of transferable skills of value in medical and non- medical employment, and to prepare Route Code: <Enter Route Code> University of Bradford 2

3 you for careers to meet the needs of the professional forensic and police sector employers; provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to proceed to further studies in specialised areas of forensic investigation or multi-disciplinary areas involving the chemical and/or biomedical sciences, and to provide you with the opportunity to study beyond Masters level. Programme Learning Outcomes To be eligible for the award of Certificate of Higher Education at FHEQ level 4, students will be able to: LO1 LO2 LO3 Integrate and appraise core principles underlying biomedical sciences, including cell biology, tissues, microbiology, immunology, human genetics and developmental biology, biomolecules, biochemistry, and pathology, and forensic investigation and Interpretation (including examination and analysis of physical evidence and interpretation and presentation of forensic evidence) and apply them to forensic casework. Optionally, describe and explain the molecular and genetic basis of disease, the fundamentals of gene expression, biotechnology, and genomics, and apply archaeological and anthropological principles to forensic investigation; Explain the principles and procedures used in the analysis and the characterisation of biological substances.

Additionally, to be eligible for the award of Degree of Master in Sciences at FHEQ level 7, students will be able to: LO15 LO16 LO17 LO18 Curriculum Explain and critically evaluate areas of advanced biological or forensic investigation and pursue an independent, practical investigation in considerable depth in one of these disciplines. Plan, design and execute practical investigations, from the problemrecognition stage through to the evaluation and appraisal of results and findings. Select appropriate techniques and procedures, independently interpret conflicting and uncertain results generated both in your experimental project and by others. Critically appraise published work. The curriculum is designed to provide for a core programme in the biomedical sciences and forensic sciences through core modules and options. Professional skills are embedded in the curriculum. Irrespective of option choices in prescribed topics, the final year provides you with an opportunity to investigate a forensic topic or topics of your own choice through dissertative and practical research activities.

Learning and Teaching Strategy The programme articulates with the Teaching and Learning and the Excellence Plus strategies of the University. A wide variety of teaching methods appropriate to the learning outcomes of the individual modules are employed throughout the programme. They progressively focus on student-centred approaches to learning thus you will be expected to take increasing responsibility for your learning as you progress through the course. In this way you will develop the attributes needed for life-long learning and continued professional development. Outcomes LO1 to LO4, LO6 to LO9 and LO14 will be developed in a number of modules, through a mix of lectures, seminars, laboratory practicals, workshops, case studies, CAL and directed study. Directed study will involve you in a variety of activities, which include directed reading of selected textbooks, specified source literature and open learning materials, directed Web-based materials, report writing and other assignments. In addition individual project/dissertation work will further help you to develop outcomes LO8 and LO14. Key skills are embedded throughout the curriculum with most modules developing at least one of the skills specified in outcome LO13. Where appropriate the disciplines of the medical sciences are brought together within the context of forensic science through the forensic science modules, studied at each Stage of the course. The MSci level modules will develop the learning outcomes LO15 to LO18 which will be fostered through lectures, laboratory exercises, small group seminars, tutorials and workshops, individual project work and directed study. Written examination, coursework assignments and dissertation will assess them. Assessment Strategy You will demonstrate your achievement via written closed-book examinations using constructed- (essays, short answers) and selected response (MCQ) questions and a variety of coursework assignments, including laboratory reports, oral presentations and dissertation. The development of outcomes LO10 to LO12 will be through involvement in laboratory, small-group workshops, case-based work and projects (individual and small group). They will be assessed by critical appraisal, case analysis and critique, case presentations, laboratory reports and dissertation.
