Give your career prospects a lift with a Masters in Forensic and Biological Anthropology. Specialist anthropological and archaeological skills can contribute, not only to our understanding of the past, but also to the effective investigation of serious crime, particularly murder, genocide and mass disaster. Forensic anthropology is concerned with the analysis of human skeletal remains within a forensic context and provides a vital suite of expertise and skills.
Internationally, human rights violations, genocide and Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) are generating demand for skilled practitioners who can contribute to the identification of victims of such crime and the determination of the manner and cause of death. Such skills are also needed within the context of domestic criminal activity. Forensic anthropology demands an understanding of legal issues and constraints, professional skills enabling evidence to be presented to the courts. Biological anthropology also has value within archaeology where it is applied to skeletal materials from archaeological contexts.
In the School of Conservation Sciences we use a range of different learning methods from individual tutorials to formal lectures and practical sessions, with a range of group sizes. From this blend of styles you will gain confidence and flourish in your chosen field to become a professional in waiting. Our academics are world leaders in the development of simulations of crime scenes such as mass graves, human rights crime scenes, temporary mortuaries and air crashes for training and are consultants worldwide for forensic anthropology.
