Forensic Short Courses July 2007 |
During July the School of Conservation Sciences will be running several forensic simulations as part of their suite of short courses that are run each year. Our simulations allow students to understand and practice the processes involved in crime scene and disaster scenarios; scenarios that are often impossible to train on as real investigations.
Our courses are led by BU staff, associated professionals such as police and fire service who are world experts in their field. Our facilities include:
These courses will provide an extensive practical training that will enhance the student’s professional capability, employability and augment the knowledge and skills derived from degree programmes.
The following forensic simulations are being run this summer:
Mass Graves
15th – 22nd July 2007
The majority of the Mass Graves course takes place in the field, where students will be supervised, monitored and mentored by members of academic staff, world experts in the field. By the end of the fieldwork period students will be familiar with the mass grave excavation process and its requirements in terms of professional skills, logistics and teamwork.
Temporary Mortuaries
10th – 13th July 2007
The majority of the Temporary Mortuary course takes place in a large sports hall set up as a temporary mortuary, where students will be supervised, monitored and mentored by members of academic staff, world experts in the field. By the end this course students will be familiar with the temporary mortuary process and its requirements in terms of professional skills, logistics and teamwork.
Air Crash Scene Recoveries
23rd – 27th July 2007
The majority of this course takes place in the field, where students will be supervised, monitored and mentored by members of academic staff, world experts in the field. By the end this course students will be familiar with the air crash scene recovery process and its requirements in terms of professional skills, logistics and teamwork.
Future simulations are planned in the following areas:
