This course gives students in depth knowledge of the human body and the skills necessary for the analysis and identification of human remains. Forensic Anthropology is best described as the analysis of human remains for the medicolegal purposes of establishing identity, investigating suspicious deaths and identifying victims of mass disasters. It is a specialised area of forensic science that requires detailed anatomical and osteological training. The course is centred around human anatomy as the identification of the deceased relies heavily on not only hard tissue like the skeleton but also soft tissue information. All modules are assessed by a combination of in-course and end-of-course procedures. Previous graduates in forensic anthropology have gone on to pursue careers in areas such as biomedical science, scene of crime analysis, forensic science investigation and osteological research. Some graduates have continued into postgraduate study both within and out with Dundee, building on what they learnt in their undergraduate degree. Some of these have progressed to become teachers and researchers in the field of forensic anthropology, providing services to both national and international forensic investigation.
