Show More MSc Top-up This programme allows forensic practitioners who are holders of the Forensic Science Society Diploma to study for an MSc. From 2010 the Forensic Science Society Diploma was credit rated at 120 credits at postgraduate level. This has allowed the university to offer a “top-up” of the diploma to masters level on the successful completion of a project in either Crime Scene Investigation, Fire Investigation, Firearm Examination and Questioned Documents.
The MSc courses in Firearm Examination require the student to carry out a major independent research project in crime scene investigation. Entry RequirementsThe Forensic Science Society Diploma in the appropriate subject awarded from 2010 onwards. Admission may be possible for those who received their diploma before 2010 by accreditation of prior experiential learning (APEL). Contact Dr Platt to discuss APEL. Other Fees |

Show More These courses build upon your previous experience in the biological, chemical or forensic sciences to develop your ability to analyse evidence in a myriad of forms. The emphasis is on accuracy, accountability and thoroughness, with the ultimate aim of providing results and interpretation for use by a court of law. The theory is delivered using Blackboard, an online virtual learning environment. This provides the flexibility of studying at your own pace and from any location in the world. Whilst using Blackboard, you will interact with other students on the course through online discussion groups and receive excellent support from tutors via e-mail or phone. The Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma courses are, respectively, the first third and first two thirds of the MSc course. At Postgraduate Certificate level, the emphasis is on the crime scene, specifically the collection, packaging and analysis of evidence such as fingermarks, footwear marks, documents, hairs, fibres and glass. Those continuing on to the Postgraduate Diploma will then change the emphasis of their studies to the chemical and biological analysis of evidence in forensic laboratories. During the Diploma, you will learn about a host of techniques, from the interpretation of blood spatter evidence to the analysis of illicit drugs, and from DNA profiling to the analysis of fire accelerants and drugs. The Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma stages of study each end in a two-week long residential practical programme, held at our Stoke-on-Trent campus. These summer workshops enable you to put your learning into practice and gain valuable experience in our state-of-the-art laboratories, crime scene house and mock courtroom facilities. MSc students continue their studies beyond the Postgraduate Diploma stage, allowing specialisation in an aspect of forensic science. To complete the MSc, you will undertake a independent research project in an area either suggested by yourself or by choosing a title from a list of topics. In this work, the emphasis is on initiative and originality in the analysis and interpretation of results. The experimental part will usually be undertaken at our Stoke-on-Trent campus but, by agreement, could be based at the learner’s place of work or at a local institute. Entry RequirementsMinimum 2:2 BSc (Hons) degree in a biological, chemical or forensic science discipline or equivalent and/or accredited professional qualifications or vocational experience in relevant areas.

Show More Forest management is a science concerned with the nature of forest ecosystems and how they can best be managed — not only for timber but for biodiversity conservation, protection of catchments, storage of carbon and other essential functions. The Bachelor of Forest Science and Management is a four-year forestry degree that has been designed in consultation with a range of forestry stakeholders to meet a shortage of degree-qualified foresters. Forestry graduates develop many skills and understand the multi-faceted aspects of sustainable resource management. They also have the opportunity to specialise in small or large-scale plantations, restoration forestry, provision of environmental services, wood utilisation, forest inventory and planning, or international forestry. Changes in the industry drive a continuing demand for degree-qualified foresters able to work in production, conservation and restoration forestry. Native forests continue to be important sources of high-value wood and require managers in public forest agencies and national parks where the focus is on fire management, weed and feral animal control and other important issues. The course places an emphasis on field work and many trips to native and planted forest types. Most lectures and tutorials are taught via online activities and video-linked or podcast virtual classes. The course includes compulsory residential teaching periods at Lismore campus that all students must attend. Entry RequirementsN/A Other FeesOverseas examination fees Textbooks Student Services and Amenities Fee (Max. $281/year, international students exempt) Incidental unit costs NotesThe course includes compulsory residential teaching periods at Lismore campus that all students must attend. |

Show More The Master of Science in Emergency Services Management has evolved into a program designed to produce an educated, multi-disciplined, proactive group of professionals who must evaluate risk analysis and prevention, secure communications reliability, and provide for mitigation along with economic and social recovery in the face of disastrous natural or man-made catastrophic events. Emergency managers shoulder a great deal of responsibility during emergencies. They must understand the risks in a variety of emergency situations and be prepared to act as soon as trouble and disaster arises and threatens the public and our communities. The bottom line is that the emergency manager is the one who is counted on to deal with unpredictable, dangerous and sometimes catastrophic situations, and to address such situations in a fashion that minimizes risk to responders and the public alike. This program provides professional leaders in the fire science, criminal justice, safety and environmental fields with the knowledge base to assume Emergency Management roles in the federal, state, county, private corporate or consulting sectors of our economic and business infrastructure. Entry RequirementsApplicants are required to submit an official transcript issued by a post-secondary institution accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education indicating a conferred bachelor’s degree. International students must provide an appropriately authenticated official transcript issued by a governmental authority that attests to the successful completion of a program considered to be equivalent to an accredited bachelor’s degree.
