Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Bioscience) - Forensic Science

This Forensic Science major can be studied under the Bachelor of Science (Biomedical Science) and combines specialised forensic studies within the physical and biomedical sciences that underpin forensic investigations.
Students focus on techniques, issues and challenges in forensic science, and develop a holistic approach that spans evidence collection, testing and analysis techniques, and prosecution. Students study in state-of-the-art facilities and forensic laboratories, including the ECU Health Simulation Centre where simulated crime scenes provide practical experience that is as close as you can get to real-word investigations. This major is developed in consultation with industry and students have opportunities to hear from professionals in the forensic field, so you learn the practical skills employers are looking for. The specialised forensic science instruction, combined with the broad biomedical science knowledge and skills learned, opens doors to a broad range of careers.
