Learn How Science, Psychology & Law Work Together To Solve Crimes & Understand The World of Criminology
Are you fascinated by true crime and want to understand how real investigations unfold? Are you looking to start a career in forensics, law enforcement, legal admin and criminal law, criminal psychology, or incarceration and rehabilitation services?
Or are you already working in a field where understanding criminal behaviour, crime prevention, solving crimes or understanding the foundations of law would help you upgrade your skills or current career?
The Forensic Science & Criminal Investigation Essentials Course introduces you to the core principles of forensic science, criminal psychology, and legal studies. It combines theory, case studies, and interactive learning activities to help you explore how science, law, and human behaviour intersect. You’ll gain practical skills in evidence analysis, communication, and ethical reasoning, all while uncovering the methods used by investigators to bring justice to life.
This essentials course is divided into three key areas, where you’ll cover:
Forensic Science – Learn how forensic techniques are applied in real-world investigations, from evidence collection and analysis to crime scene evaluation and ethical considerations.
Criminal Psychology – Explore the psychological factors behind criminal behaviour, including mental health, youth crime, and the role of psychology in law enforcement and the courtroom.
Legal Terminology – Gain an understanding of the legal system, criminal law, and the terminology and processes that underpin justice and investigative work.
Upon completion, you’ll be well-prepared with the confidence and fundamental skills to explore opportunities in the justice, legal, and investigative services industries. Whether you’re beginning your journey or looking to strengthen your current skill set, this course provides a solid foundation for roles in forensic support, criminal justice, or related studies.
