About Master of Science - Forensic Science - Toxicology
Forensic Science (Toxicology) offers in-depth training in pharmacology and analytical chemistry. Students 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 Kingston's 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.
Lecturers on the course have wide experience in the forensics sector. Many have worked either as forensic scientists or as expert witnesses. They are also actively engaged in forensic research and are supported by visiting speakers from leading forensic consultancies.
This course is accredited by The Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences for the component standards in Interpretation, Evaluation and Presentation of Evidence; Laboratory Analysis; and Crime Scene Investigation. When students graduate they are eligible to apply to be an Associate of The Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences (ACSFS post-nominals). Having completed appropriate continuing professional development in a forensic science workplace, they can also become a Professional Member (MCSFS).
In the UK, forensic analysts are now mainly employed in independent laboratories. They perform a variety of roles including laboratory technical support, laboratory management, forensic investigations (sampling, chemical analysis and data interpretation) and are expected to present evidence through formal reports or directly in court.
