University of Kent Global and Lifelong Learning was delighted to welcome students from Amity University, Dubai for a short course in Forensic Science from the 9th to the 20th May 2023.<\/p>\n

Their course focused on the practical aspects of Forensic Science, including crime scene photography, building a biological profile from skeletal remains in the Human Osteology Lab<\/a>, developing physical evidence in fingerprints and fibres, and forensic entomology (the study of insects associated with crimes).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Students also visited University of Kent’s crime scene facility to get experience of evidence recording and preservation. The crime scene house<\/a> can be set up to simulate all kinds of crime scenarios, such as burglary and suspicious death.<\/p>\n

The realistic scenarios offered by the crime scene house help students to prepare for the diverse nature of crime scenes they may encounter in future careers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
