The free online course, “Identifying the Dead: Forensic Science and Human Identification,” from the University of Dundee allows you to take on the role of a forensic investigator and solve a murder mystery penned by crime writer, Val McDermid. As an exclusive preview, we’re inviting you to take part in a live Q&A with Val and two expert forensic practitioners.
In the Q&A, you’ll have the chance to ask questions about the forensic investigation process, the different roles that exist, and where crime writers get their expert knowledge from.
MORE than 10,000 people have already signed up to a free online course which allows students to take the role of a forensic investigator at the heart of a murder mystery by Scots crime writer Val McDermid.
The six-week course, called Identifying The Dead: forensic science and human identification is a MOOC, or massive open online course, which anyone can sign up to take.
