Aims of the Programme
The MSc in Forensic or Medical Art is a professional masters programme where students study a number of shared modules as well as modules designed specifically for either chosen concentration. The programme has been developed in response to the need for the provision of support for the satisfactory transition from undergraduate study to the establishment of professional practice within contemporary forensic and medical fields. It recognises that in common with many academic areas of study students who have successfully completed a first degree need professional vocational training in order to enter the world of work. In addition, professionals within the UK police force or NHS require qualification, validation expansion and specialisation of their skills to conform with medico-legal procedures and for registration with professional bodies.
This MSc aims to produce professionals who can work at the leading edge of the genres and will provide a supportive environment to nurture innovative and creative ideas whilst working closely with the UK police force and the MAA (Medical Artist's Association).
