Transcript
Our Bachelor of Science course, Chemistry with Forensic Science, is an excellent opportunity for students interested in chemistry and the science of a crime scene investigation. The course is based on an interdisciplinary study consisting of modern methods of teaching, such as lectures, tutorials, electronic homeworks, and extensive practical training in many science subjects.
There is an excellent link between lectures and practical training, consisting of field and laboratory based techniques with particular emphasis on proper procedures of handling the evidence. Each year there is a practical exam where the students process and analyze the crime scene as a team, and prepare and give a course presentation about their findings.
Our students receive extensive training in digital photography, video recording, report writing, and demonstrate excellent presentation skills, since these are the bread and butter of a forensic scientist. Our graduates will be prepared to join the CSI staff anywhere in the world. However, since this is a chemistry degree consisting approximately of two-thirds of chemistry subjects, our graduates will also be well prepared for jobs in the chemical and the pharmaceutical industry.
