Erasmus Mundus (MFSc) Scholarships

Overview

The Erasmus Mundus Masters in Forensic Science (MFSc) is a joint venture between the Universities of Lincoln and Cordoba and the Instituto Superior de Ciencias da Saude Egas Moniz.

The situation around crime and the high impact that terrorism and terrorist activities are having in modern societies has pushed the International Community to dedicate resources and develop initiatives to prevent criminal acts. The different countries in the world are developing their own or joint strategies to make this fight against crime more efficient. An International Forensic Science Specialist Master developed to train and educate cohorts of future forensic scientists can serve this aim and provide with trained professionals to help protect people.

The Master course offered by the University of Lincoln (UK), the University of Cordoba (Spain) and the Instituto Superior de Ciencias da Saude Egas Moniz (Portugal) will constitute a joint venture in which the three institutions will put together their forensic expertise to create the first International Joint Master in Forensic Science. Forensic scientists, researchers, professionals from police and rescue services and private forensic laboratories from three different European countries, the United States and Canada will join forces to offer a programme covering the main aspects of study and research in forensic sciences.


The main areas of study covered in the course are:

Forensic Analytical Chemistry, Forensic Botany, Legal Medicine, Forensic Toxicology, Environmental Forensic Science, Drugs of Abuse, DNA Analysis, Forensic Anthropology, Forensic Entomology and Fire and Explosion Investigation

Partners:

UNIVERSITY OF LINCOLN, United Kingdom (Co-ordinating Institution)
UNIVERSITY OF CORDOBA, Spain
HIGHER INSTITUTE OF HEALTH SCIENCES EGAS MONIZ, Portugal
