Forensic science is the application of science to the law. The aim of this programme is to encourage students to study scientific subjects that provide them with the necessary skills to work in forensic science as well as a wide range of other scientific fields. The major emphasis of the programme is to provide high-quality broad-based scientific training that does not restrict successful graduates when they choose their career.
