Entry requirements

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Prerequisites

Biochemistry

Intended learning outcomes

The objective of the course is to give comprehensive knowledge in the following areas:

Describe the methods used in forensic science
Use and evaluate basic laboratory techniques and interpret experimentally determined data in a written laboratory report

Course content

Basic molecular biology techniques used in forensic science such as PCR and DNA analysis. The laboratory part: Analysis of DNA by PCR techniques.

Teaching and working methods

The theory is mainly presented in lectures. Solving of problems, discussions of theoretical and practical aspects of experiments in the laboratory are performed in lessons. The lecture course is examined in an individual written examination (KTR1). Theoretical and practical aspects of are illustrated in the laboratory course. The results of the experimental work should be presented and discussed in written reports.
