Archaeological, Anthropological and Forensic Sciences

Description

Increased professionalism, together with developments in science and technology, mean that both archaeological and forensic sciences require high quality scientists. There has also been an increase in the application of forensic archaeology and anthropology within the expanding arena that is medico-legal forensic science, which now encompasses disaster victim recovery and identification in the aftermath of terrorist bombings and natural disasters.

This course draws on BU’s international reputation in both traditional and forensic archaeology and anthropology from our well established and world-leading research rated Archaeology Group and our expanding Forensic and Biological Sciences Group. Research defines our status and our impact on both national and international decision makers and policy.
