Overview

[Updated 2025]

Go on a compelling journey into the intricate world of forensic anthropology, a realm where the silent narratives of human remains come to life. Imagine the frustration of encountering a skeletal puzzle, each bone a potential clue to a mysterious story waiting to be deciphered. This course weaves through the intricate tapestry of human osteology, delving into the very framework that defines our existence.

As the narrative unfolds, explore the science of forensic taphonomy, unveiling the secrets of postmortem transformations and the resilience of evidence against the passage of time. In the face of trauma and injury, discover the art of analysis, decoding the language of fractures and wounds etched into bone. The journey ventures into the hallowed grounds of forensic archaeology, unearthing hidden tales buried beneath the surface.

Skeletal identification becomes an art form, an intricate dance with the echoes of the past. Navigate through the complexities of human rights and mass disasters, where compassion meets science in the pursuit of justice. Master the skill of presenting expert testimony, transforming knowledge into a powerful voice within the courtroom. Finally, witness the seamless integration of forensic anthropology and forensic science, bridging disciplines to forge a comprehensive understanding.

After the learning journey your frustration evolves into expertise, and the pain of the unknown metamorphoses into the satisfaction of unlocking the enigma. Join us where curiosity conquers challenges, and the science of forensic anthropology becomes a captivating saga of discovery and resolution.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
