The Bachelor of Forensic Science Bachelor of International Studies at UTS prepares students for professional and specialist work in forensic science. 

Students build a solid foundation of skills and knowledge in the enabling sciences, complemented by an in-depth understanding of forensic science in the context of their chosen discipline. 

Developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills is a focus of the degree, with graduates in high demand from diverse industries and organisations.

In the International Studies component, students select one of six languages (Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, or Spanish) and one of the following three pathways: 

Language, Culture & the Professional World, Language; Culture & Global Exchange; and International Honours.

This course gives students a thorough understanding of how forensic science can solve and prevent crime. 

This is a hands-on course using world-class facilities that are modelled on operational laboratories. 

After the first year, students can choose one of the four in-demand forensic science disciplines: biology, chemistry, crime scene investigation, and digital forensic science.
