3 years Full time or 6 years Part time
Unlock your potential in the dynamic world of forensic science, where scientific expertise meets real-world criminal investigations. With a strong focus on hands-on learning and practical experience, this degree will prepare you to become a skilled forensic investigator. You’ll develop in-depth knowledge of new forensic analysis methods and gain valuable hands-on experience from real casework through work-integrated learning opportunities. You’ll practise presenting expert evidence in moot courts and will learn from academic staff who have ties to international projects and provide expert evidence in Australian courts. In your first year, you’ll take core courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics and forensic investigation. In your second and third years, you’ll focus on your chosen major (forensic chemistry or forensic molecular biology) and continue to develop your skills in core areas.
