Bachelor of Forensic Science/Bachelor of Criminology

Become a crime scene expert by studying the Bachelor of Forensic Science/Bachelor of Criminology, a double degree that trains you to piece together the many facets of crime, from understanding motives to unlocking hidden details in evidence.

Want to pursue a combined course that gives you a distinct career advantage in forensic science or the justice system?

Understanding the nature of crime and the motivations behind criminal behavior is a sought-after skill. The ability to use scientific evidence to solve crimes is equally in demand.

Combining both skills makes you far more employable and lets you see crime through multiple lenses, so you can perform your role at a much higher level.

Led by a team of highly experienced criminology and forensic science experts, the Bachelor of Forensic Science/Bachelor of Criminology gives you a glimpse into the minds of criminals, while training you to confidently examine, interpret and present forensic evidence.

This combined course draws from both arts and science disciplines. It’s designed to give you a broad appreciation of the professional, social, economic, and cultural contexts of why crimes are committed and teaches you how to examine evidence using modern forensic analysis techniques.
