How you’ll learn You'll have workshops and practical sessions, so you'll be able to use specialist equipment and software. There are several different ways we test your understanding and competence.

I was really impressed with the equipment available. The University probably has every piece of equipment we could need to complete an investigation. Matthew Hindes
