Forensics Courses

Success or failure in forensics depends on your ability to piece together the little things – the fingerprint, the strand of hair, the snag of clothing – that can lead to big breakthroughs that solve cases. With its highly respected staff, courses, and chillingly realistic Crime Scene House, UWS has set new frontiers for forensics and explores the vast expanses of this vital science.

With a balance of theory and practical field studies, industry-based projects, placements, and local and international work experience opportunities, this professionally recognised program will equip you with the skills you need to have a successful career in forensic science.

Since our first graduates in 2007, the forensic science course has had tremendous success regarding students' employment into the forensic science field. The forensic science course has seen graduates employed as crime scene investigators (SOCOs), criminalists, accident investigators, drug analysts, forensic exhibits officers, police officers and others. The law enforcement industry also extends beyond the police services. It also includes aspects of border security, workplace accident investigation, fire investigation, customs, local rangers and environmental investigations. Career opportunities in government laboratories also provide forensic science positions in DNA analysis, drug analysis or forensic chemistry and pathology assistants.
