B.Sc. (Hons.) in Forensic Science
Program Overview
Forensic science is an interdisciplinary field that applies principles of biology, chemistry, physics, and law to investigate crime for justice. The objective of this B.Sc. in forensic science is to apply their knowledge in an essentially crime laboratory-based profession to investigating crime. This programme offers students a robust foundation in the scientific techniques and legal principles necessary for evidence collection, preservation, analysis, and presentation in judicial contexts.
Through theoretical learning, hands-on laboratory experience, and field training, students gain practical skills in crime scene investigation, forensic biology and toxicology, digital forensics, and the ethical responsibilities of expert testimony. The programme also emphasises research, critical thinking, and technological proficiency.
