Our on-site Crime Scene House is used exclusively by Forensic Investigation students. This state-of-the-art facility provides students with a sense of realism, independence and an insightful experience.
The Inside
Inside the Crime Scene House, are three permanently allocated scene rooms set up as a kitchen, lounge and bedroom. There is a small briefing room providing a space for pre ad post scene discussion and a storage room that allows students to access all the equipment they need to conduct their crime scene examinations. CCTV covers the scene rooms to allow tutors to monitor students progress without interfering their workflow.

The Outside
The large size of the rear garden allows for areas that can be set aside for final year student projects such as burial excavations while still having different areas that are well maintained or overgrown areas that are left to represent scrubland or waste ground. We have a dedicated crime scene vehicle parked at the front of the building.

Following a Journey
The crime scene based modules studied on the course allows students to follow a journey. From learning basic techniques such as night time photography and evidence recovery in the first year, to examining full crime scenes in the second year and going on to taking on the role of Crime Scene Managers in their final year.
