Collecting and analyzing evidence are vital to a successful investigation and conviction in a criminal case. In the Forensic Science Programs, students gain first-hand experience investigating simulated interior and exterior crime scenes and learn proper evidence collection techniques relevant to each type of crime scene.
Depending on a student’s previous educational background, they can choose between an option that focuses on investigation techniques (BTech, Professional Investigation Stream) and more scientifically rigorous options such as the BSc, Advanced Certificate, or the BTech (Forensic Laboratory Stream).
To augment this, forensic science students learn about the biological, chemical, and physical aspects of forensic science from recognized forensic experts, including entomologists, anthropologists, and scientists (DNA, toxicology, drug analysis, firearms/tool marks, imaging/videography, and more). Proper investigative techniques are taught to professional investigation students to collect, document, and analyze evidence and information relevant to the investigation as well as interview witnesses, conduct online investigations, and write investigative reports.”
