About the Aston Institute for Forensic Linguistics (AIFL)

AIFL is a substantial expansion of the former Centre for Forensic Linguistics that was founded in 2008. The expansion was funded via a £6M investment including a £5.4M award from Research England’s Expanding Excellence in England (E3) fund. The aim of the Institute is to improve the delivery of justice through the analysis of language. We combine world-leading research and practice with teaching and training in forensic linguistics and forensic speech science.

Aston University is known for its world-class teaching and research and a graduate employment record that is amongst the best in the UK. It boasts strong links with industry, government and the local community. Aston was ranked 34th out of 131 UK universities in the 2020 Complete University Guide.
