Kingston University Forensic Sciences Programs

Kingston University Forensic science students will learn to investigate and analyse drugs of abuse, fibres and firearms and conduct fire and explosive investigations. Forensic Science (Toxicology) offers in-depth training in pharmacology and analytical chemistry. They will study the biological effects and therapeutic uses of drugs, focusing on criminal and road traffic toxicology, and on drug testing in sport. Many of their staff have worked as forensic scientists or as expert witnesses and are actively engaged in research.

Kingston University has its own scene-of-crime house located on-site. This is used to recreate crime scenes and enables students to put their investigative skills into practice. The property's garden is used by the forensic team's archaeologist for field investigations.
