A forensic chemist’s most valuable asset is combining critical thinking with sound experience in a wide range of chemical and associated disciplines. The course at the UEA is unique in the sense that it not only teaches the essential chemistry but also exposes the students to practical work in order to stimulate the critical thinking aspects.
From year one the students are taught forensic science units, are involved in forensic and forensic archaeology fieldwork and are given the opportunity to investigate forensic science issues in tutor groups as part of the problem based learning approach. During the second semester of year 3 the students have the possibility (depending on grades) to study aspects of forensic science, like courtroom testimony, at the International Forensic Research Institute at the Florida International University in Miami. The fourth year offers a dedicated curriculum related to the specific forensic research at the Centre for Forensic Provenancing at the UEA. The final research project is either based on forensic technique development or specific case work.
After the completion of the course the graduates can apply for employment at law enforcement agencies, customs, ministry of defence, food standards agencies, environmental protection agencies and of course any other chemical industry where critical thinking chemists are required.
In the School of Chemistry, students are offered rigorous training in the theoretical and experimental foundations of Forensic Chemistry in a School that is at the forefront of interdisciplinary research, as is reflected in the units taught in the Programme. The high quality of our research is recognised nationally and internationally; The School is one of the leading research centres in the UK and is engaged in all of the traditional areas of Chemistry, as well as many interdisciplinary areas.
This is a four-year high quality integrated masters programme which leads students from the fundamentals of Forensic Chemistry through to an advanced level of understanding in the core areas of Forensic Chemistry.
Dr. Stephen Day
During your first week at UEA, our staff will welcome you and provide a full induction programme; we aim to help our students settle in as quickly as possible. At the School of Chemistry we believe in offering each student individual care and guidance.
On your arrival at UEA you will be assigned to an adviser who will provide both academic and pastoral guidance. You will normally have the same adviser throughout your degree. We maintain an ‘open door policy’ so that students can see their adviser (or other members of staff) at any mutually convenient time. Your adviser will guide you through your academic career and provide a sympathetic ear during difficult times. If you study abroad for a year you will also be assigned an adviser at your host institution.
The University has excellent provision of specialist support services. Whatever the issue, be it financial, personal, academic or administrative - the University’s Dean of Students Office and the Union of UEA Students’ support services have experienced and sympathetic people, support groups and advice centres to help you.
Top-rated research
Research is a key activity in any major academic institution.

We will consider the roles that psychologists play in understanding, detecting and treating criminal behaviour, and we will discuss the issues, methods, findings and implications of research in areas such as the development of antisocial behaviour, the rehabilitation of offenders, eyewitness testimony, crime statistics, offender profiling, and homicide. This module is designed for 4th year M-level Forensic and Investigative Chemistry students; the content is exactly the same as PSY3B57 but there is an additional assessment.
Multidisciplinary module about problems of managing pollution, focussing on regional and urban issues, this module will unashamedly shift viewpoint between chemical, legislative, economic, historical and social interpretations of pollution.
From supernovae and the early condensation of the solar system, through the climate history of the planet and on to modern stratospheric chemistry, studies using stable isotopes have made a significant contribution to our understanding of the processes that shape the Earth. In this module we look at the theory and practice of isotope geochemistry, covering analytical methods and mass spectrometry, fractionation processes, and isotope behaviour in chemical cycles in the geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere. The course consists of lectures, practicals, including hands-on experience in the stable isotope laboratory, and student led seminars.
Disclaimer
