Master of Science [M.Sc] [Forensic Anthropology] From Bournemouth University

Specialist anthropological skills can contribute, not only to our understanding of the past, but also to the effective investigation of serious incidents in the modern world, particularly murder, genocide and human rights violations within the constraints of the criminal justice system. Such skills have also proved increasingly useful in recent years in the wake of mass disasters, both natural and man-made.

They adopt a team approach to teaching, with each full-time human osteologist having their own specialisms. Other staff have expertise in relevant related subjects including forensic archaeology, crime scene investigation, forensic entomology, law and expert witness testimony, backed up by a team of specialist technicians. We are also one of very few universities to offer you the chance to undertake a simulated mass grave exercise as part of your MasterÕs degree.
