Course Summary

This MSc provides students with fundamental skills and knowledge to study human remains in both bioarchaeological and forensic anthropological contexts. This degree provides students with a solid grounding in all aspects of skeletal and dental anatomy, methods and procedures for assessing human skeletal material, identifying disease in the skeleton, and the legal context when dealing with modern forensic human remains. The human skeleton is a complex and dynamic structure that retains an individual's unique physiological experiences gained throughout life, as well as after death. Bioarchaeologists and Forensic Anthropologists have the opportunity to explore those experiences through the study of human skeletal and dental remains. This unique MSc degree draws on the theoretical and scientific methodological approaches of both Bioarchaeology and Forensic Anthropology. It provides a comprehensive programme that allows students to gain in-depth insight into both disciplines, including the opportunity to choose their own research path through their dissertation project.
