Course content

You develop a forensic imaging protocol that adheres to relevant guidance and legislation and gain skills in producing images that are acceptable in court, by understanding the requirements for high-quality evidence. You also learn about the imaging of both children and adults for suspected physical abuse, the use of post-mortem cross-sectional imaging as an alternative to invasive autopsy, using imaging to locate forensic evidence such as drug smuggling and ballistic material, identification of the deceased, and age assessments for human trafficking or illegal immigration.

The PgCert develops your current skills, enabling you to undertake forensic imaging in your department and comply with published forensic radiography guidelines. The PgDip and MSc develop further advanced forensic imaging skills in mass fatality incidents and disaster victim identification, and the skills you need to undertake independent research in a practice area of your choice. During your third year (MSc), you use your skills to contribute to the forensic imaging knowledge base, undertaking an independent research project.
