BSc (Hons) Forensic Science with Foundation Year Bachelor's degree at Wolverhampton

This module introduces the essential chemical principles required for further study in Pharmaceutical Science, Pharmacology, Forensic Science and Biomedical Science. It covers key concepts from general, organic, physical, and analytical chemistry, with a strong emphasis on their relevance to biological systems and healthcare applications. You will explore atomic structure, bonding, reactions, and chemical calculations, alongside organic functional groups and molecular structures. In the laborato

This module introduces students to the essential biological principles that will underpin their future forensic science studies. It provides a broad foundation in molecules of the cell including nucleic acid, cell biology, anatomy, physiology, and the diversity of life, while also exploring the role of biology in forensic investigations. Students will develop an understanding of how biological systems function and the significance of this to forensic investigations. The module also introduces ke

This module equips students with the essential mathematical, analytical, and digital skills required for success in science and related disciplines. It introduces core numeracy and statistical techniques, alongside structured approaches to problem solving in scientific contexts. Students will learn how to analyse data, apply logical reasoning, and use appropriate IT tools to model and visualise solutions. The module also encourages reflection on the role of digital technologies, including AI, in

The Professional Standards Toolkit module aims to provide you with the skills necessary for academic study and to be able to thrive in Semester 2 and beyond (L4-6). This module introduces students to the professional standards (in Science or Engineering-depending on your course subject), behaviours and academic skills required in your field of interest. This module will also develop your core transferrable skills such as communication and study skills, as well as digital literacy. You will also

Forensic Biology introduces you to fundamental biological principles and laboratory techniques necessary for the study of Forensic Science. You will explore; the function of structures within prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the flow of genetic information from DNA through to proteins via transcription and translation, classical genetics, DNA replication, cell division and the cell cycle along with the study of key molecules in the context of biological processes. You will study biological evid

This module introduces students to the fundamental chemical principles as applied to forensic science. Students will gain a grounding in atomic structure, bonding, chemical reactions, analytical principles, and laboratory skills relevant to forensic investigations. Practical sessions reinforce core chemical techniques, data handling, and good laboratory practice essential for more advanced forensic and analytical work.

This module introduces you to the principles and practice of forensic science, with a focus on the professional standards and processes that guide the work of forensic scientists in the UK and beyond. You will learn about the role of the Forensic Science Regulator, ISO standards and laboratory accreditation, and why these are important for ensuring reliable results and public confidence in forensic evidence. You will develop an appreciation of different types of evidence commonly seen in investi

This extended induction module supports your transition into university life and introduces you to your chosen academic discipline. It helps you build confidence, develop a strong academic identity, and understand the expectations of university study. You'll explore key academic practices including independent learning, digital literacy, and ethical academic conduct, such as referencing, plagiarism awareness, and the responsible use of artificial intelligence in line with university policy.
