Faculty
The University of Bradford has longstanding expertise in forensics, we were the first UK university to offer this subject at degree level. Our courses were recently re-accredited by The Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences. We have excellent facilities and collections for teaching forensics at Bradford including a wide range of mock crime scenes, a court room, dedicated laboratory spaces, the largest teaching collection of archaeological human remains in the UK, a dedicated cone beam CT and microCT and wide range of equipment for prospection, survey and recording. These facilities arise from external capital funding (>£9M) and University investment in subject-specific teaching laboratories (£600k).
