Level 3

The diploma allows learners to undertake study related to forensics and criminology topics. Learners will have the opportunity to develop skills which will enable progression to a range of degree level programme. The mandatory units include a mixture of science-based units, which will support forensic topics, and basic criminology units. These include: Crime Statistics, Forensic Investigation Procedures, Forensic Science and Introduction to Criminology.

Many learners join degrees related to forensics and criminology after following A level study, so the diploma will place the Access to HE learners on a level with those who have followed A level studies.

You will also cover maths, statistics, and study skills as well as an individual Research Project. The course will give you the opportunity to develop a range of skills that will be essential for progression to university.
