The Society has been accrediting the forensic content of full degree courses in forensic science since 2006. The Educational Accreditation Scheme now covers both BSc and MSc programmes. However, the Society acknowledges that there are many combined undergraduate courses (foundation degree, diploma, certificate etc.) on offer where forensic science forms a significant but lesser proportion of the overall programme. The quality of the forensic science delivered in such cases is still important and so the Society has developed a Recognition Scheme to provide an endorsement of this content.
