About the programme

You will apply what you learn into practice in our purpose-built replica crime scene facility right here on campus. A recent addition to the university, it provides detailed and realistic crime scenes for you to explore. Get hands-on to collect evidence, explore criminal activity, and see the world of forensic science brought to life.

By taking the Criminology with Forensic Science course at University of Hull, you will learn specialist investigation methods including document evaluation, fire and firearms investigation, and use explosion site CSI before you interpret evidence and present your findings in scientific, medical, and legal contexts.

When you choose one of our Criminology degrees, you will get the chance to apply for a semester-long placement with Humberside Police. You will work with areas like CSI, the Special Branch Ports Unit, Community Policing, Cybercrime and the custody suite. You will also visit crime scenes, observe interviews, and collect evidence. Recent students have had the opportunity to investigate policing and security issues.

Future prospects

  • Police officer

  • Probation officer

Demand for criminology graduates has increased significantly in recent years and our degree equips you with the knowledge and skills that are invaluable for a career in the field of criminal justice, with the extra focus on forensic science giving you an extra edge and the potential to open up a diverse range of careers.

We hold an annual Criminal Justice careers event to introduce you to criminal justice-related organisations, helping you make vital career connections.

Plus, the opportunity to go on a placement with Humberside Police means you’d work with different areas of the force, including CSI, the Special Branch Ports Unit, community policing, cyber crime and the custody suite. You’d visit active crime scenes, observe suspect and victim interviews and collect evidence. There are only 10 places available, so it’s competitive – but the knowledge and skills you’d gain are genuinely career enhancing.
