The Bachelor of Forensic Science Bachelor of International Studies at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is a combined degree that equips students with analytical, scientific, policy-making, and language capabilities. Over the duration of five years, students engage in cross-discipline study, acquiring comprehensive knowledge on methodologies involved in forensic science, and understanding and acting upon global issues.
The forensic science degree emphasizes the development of hands-on skills in evidence gathering, analysis, lab techniques, and courtroom presentation based on strong theory knowledge. The international studies aspect of the degree enables students to immerse themselves in another culture, language and society during a year-long overseas study at an international partner university.
Moreover, the program provides students with a unique combination of skills that are highly valued in forensic and other science-based industries as well as in government and non-government organizations engaged in policy-making and evaluation. The degree prepares students for careers in forensic science laboratories, and in areas such as government safety, intelligence agencies, and international organisations. In addition, a wide range of elective subjects allows students to tailor the degree based on their interests and career aspirations.
