5 3. Programme Description 3.1 Overview Forensic Anthropology is defined as the analysis of human remains in a medico-legal context. This also encompasses the search and recovery of human remains following a mass fatality, a human rights violation atrocity or a police investigation. The Forensic Regulator has recently requested that all forensic scientists must take steps towards professionalisation in which all practitioners must adhere to common standards. Forensic Anthropology has been revolutionary in its approach and produced standards and accreditation criteria for all practitioners through the newly-formed British Association for Forensic Anthropology (BAFA), ratified by the Royal Anthropological Institute (RAI) of Great Britain and Ireland. This has exposed the need for all new specialists planning to work as a practitioner in this field to aspire to be accredited. This programme envisages supplying the next generation of professionals to become ambassadors for their professions and drive the changes forward and has been specifically designed to follow the RAI Forensic Anthropology curriculum. This programme begins with the fundamentals of forensic anthropology; human osteology and the surrounding soft tissue, constructing a biological profile, and the analysis of traumatic, taphonomic and pathological processes. This programme then presents advanced forensic anthropology topics such as juvenile osteology and burnt and commingled remains. These topics take a hands-on approach set within a theoretical framework and are grounded within wider topics such as the law, ethics and human rights issues. The role of the forensic anthropologist as an expert witness is also examined in depth within this programme. Forensic anthropologists are constantly on-call and responding to incidents around the globe on a regular basis. The contexts within which they work are becomingly increasingly complex, sometimes within political chaos and societal breakdown. Understanding the mechanisms in which they work under is vital in order to assess what is needed. The ethical approach to forensic anthropology is very much the focus of this programme along with legal ramifications and technological advances. This programme encourages students to critically evaluate all of the processes involved in a forensics anthropological investigation and aim for professional accreditation in the future. 3.2 Aims and Objectives This new Masters in Forensic Anthropology takes a new innovative global approach and offers a distinctive perspective to the search, recovery and analysis of human remains. This is the first programme in the UK to fully combine the traditionally separated areas of Forensic Anthropology and Archaeology. It is also the first programme to be designed to follow the curriculum of the British Association for Forensic Anthropology (BAFA), the professional body of accredited forensic anthropology practitioners in the UK, ratified by the Royal Anthropological Institute (RAI) of Great Britain and Ireland. This programme aims to produce graduates who are competent and proficient in the practice of forensic anthropology in a wide range of contexts, ultimately providing the next generation of forensic anthropologist to external agencies and other end-user stakeholders in the UK and around the globe. Fundamental to this approach is the teaching and learning and strategy exploiting our excellent facilities both in the laboratory and in the field. Our extensive and diverse skeletal collection is at the core of this programme both for teaching and research. This is the first programme in this specialism to offer an Overseas Field module where students actively participate in investigations outside the UK. The overseas field course will take place in the second semester and will run for approximately fourteen days. This is an ideal opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills obtained on this course Page 5/19
6 to a real situation. The students will plan a project and collect data during the duration of the field trip. Each report will then be disseminated to stakeholders involved in the investigation including victim s groups, government departments and forensic institutes. The key principles within forensic anthropology embedded within this programme are; 1. Crime scene and mortuary awareness 2. The Criminal Justice System 3. Human osteology and musculoskeletal anatomy 4. Human variation 5. Biological profile 6. Trauma, taphonomy and pathology analysis 7. Imaging of human remains 3.3 Variations to Standard Regulations and Guidance None Page 6/19

9 5. Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategies 5.1. Learning and Teaching Strategy The strategy behind teaching and learning in this programme is designed to prepare students for professional practice embedded within a theoretical research-driven framework. The programme sets out to expose the student to a variety of techniques including lectures to present theoretical content and cutting edge case studies following through with practical laboratory and field work. Laboratory work makes use of the extensive analytical equipment that the College of Science possesses using the latest analytical techniques to analyse our extensive collection of medieval human skeletons. These could include DNA analysis to establish ancestry, or chemometric techniques to investigate diet and disease from bones. Computer software such as the FORDISC 3.0 programme is utilized and the latest technology used at crime scenes such as the 360º camera and geophysical search equipment is also presented. Students are directly supervised in practical sessions and encouraged to work independently on their ideas in a dedicated forensic anthropology laboratory designed for this programme. Outdoor resources provide the space to present simulated crime scenes including a DVI (Disaster Victim Identification) exercise designed by the students themselves for external agencies and a supervised mass grave simulated activity. A decomposition facility to study taphonomy and entomology relating to postmortem processes is also a major feature. The Scenes of Crimes House is used to teach students the importance of evidence recovery and documentation procedures. Seminars are also an important part of this programme led by the tutor or the students focusing on problem-solving activities. Case studies, which put the theory into context, are an important element here, providing an appropriate environment for the students to present orally and through posters. A Moot Court provides the students with a simulated court room activity to cross examine and defend a position. Finally this programme makes use of external speakers and facilities specialising in forensic case work and law enforcement. On this programme the students are encouraged to be autonomous creating an environment which fosters independent research and puts the student as producer with a particular focus on experimental and field activities. Students are encouraged to produce their own posters to present at a national or international conference in forensic anthropology. As individuals the students study theoretical concepts, reflect on experimental work, solve problems, review case studies and carry out practical skeletal work. The production of a field based research project on the overseas module (option) and a final research project (core) with direct relevance to the advancement of forensic anthropological research is expected. The learning and teaching strategy reflects the requirements for Master s level with emphasis on student-centred problem-based learning, critical evaluation and the production of self-motivated research. External benchmarking QAA benchmarks for Forensic Anthropology do not exist and therefore this programme cannot be mapped against specific benchmarks. The QAA standards for Forensic Science Master s degrees (December 2012) have been taken into account and used as a guide when developing the standards for this programme. These are as follows; 1. either a deep specialist knowledge and experience of techniques within a particular area of forensic science, or a wide knowledge and critical awareness of the whole discipline 2. engagement and familiarity with recent and current research methods, results and publications Page 9/19
10 3. an effective self-critical attitude in planning, carrying out and reporting Investigations 4. the abilities and skills necessary to devise, plan, carry out and report an original investigation or research project 5. a clear recognition of the constraints and opportunities of the environment in which professional forensic science is carried out 6. self-direction and originality in applying and adapting problem-solving skills to unfamiliar, complex and open-ended situations 7. an open and innovative attitude in the ability to plan and execute new experimental procedures 8. a familiarity with the moral and ethical issues involved in the practice of forensic science 9. confidence in their ability to interpret complex technical information and to communicate it in a wide variety of professional situations 10. the independent learning ability required for continuing professional development These benchmarks are reflected in the programme outcomes and have been adapted to the specialist field of forensic anthropology. In addition to these benchmarks the programme has been designed using The Royal Anthropological Institute (RAI) of Great Britain s curriculum for forensic anthropology (version 1.1) published on the RAI website in This has been developed by the British Association for Forensic Anthropology (BAFA) in collaboration with the RAI and the Forensic Regulator to address professionalism and accreditation of forensic anthropologists in the UK who are practicing casework. The Forensic Anthropology Curriculum of the RAI addresses nine key areas (excluding specialisms) in which a forensic anthropologist must demonstrate competency to become an accredited professional. These are; 1. General assessment of scene, lab and mortuary investigations 2. General scene/mortuary investigations 3. Crime Scene/Mortuary Awareness 4. Criminal Justice System 5. Anthropological Assessments 6. Biological Profile 7. Assessment of Ancestry, sex, age and stature 8. Identification 9. Imaging These key areas have been incorporated into the programme outcomes and the modules have been developed to ensure that the entire curriculum is covered. The RAI will act as an accrediting body for degrees in Forensic Anthropology in the future and it is expected that this programme will be one of the first to apply for accreditation when it becomes available. Page 10/19
11 5.2. Assessment Strategy The design of the assessment strategy for the course reflects the innovative approach taken throughout. This strategy has also taken into account the wealth of resources at the team s disposal; this includes library resources, cutting edge laboratory equipment, access to external contacts, a Moot Court and an outdoor campus unrivalled in the UK for outdoor field work. Additionally it has been designed with employability for the postgraduate in the forensic sector in mind. Assessments are deliberately challenging and mimic the expectations of the job market. They include moot court appearances, research posters and witness statements. Particularly of note are the assessments that make use of simulated crime scenes containing human remains which set us apart from other institutions and are a chance for us to fully utilise our excellent facilities. Assessment methods will measure the progress of students against the full range of module learning outcomes. Detailed feedback will be provided with each assessment.? An important aspect of the assessment strategy is ensuring that the University wide philosophy of Student as Producer is embraced whereby students are engaged in research within their studies. The overseas field module, forensic anthropology and human rights and the project module are just two examples of where the student will lead and produce their own professionally relevant research. Attendance at relevant conferences to present their research is also expected. Forensic anthropology is particularly suited to this type of learning as students produce reports that are based on critical thinking and the application of anthropological methods to a particular area of enquiry. Students are encouraged to question current methods and design new ways of solving problems within the field. This will culminate in their final research project where they will choose an aspect of forensic anthropology that can be developed through extended research. The module content and activities are designed to encourage research-engaged learning and will provide a platform for the students when choosing their project area. Page 11/19
