The Bachelor of Criminology and Bachelor of Forensic Science program prepares students to address the evolving nature of crime, disorder and threats to public safety and security in the 21st century, focusing on the crime and forensics in a digital and transnational age. Students acquire a skill set that combines enabling sciences, social sciences, and in-depth knowledge of forensic science and crime, tailored to their chosen specialisations in both components of the course. In the Bachelor of Criminology and Bachelor of Forensic Science program, students choose one of four majors: • Chemistry • Biology • Crime Scene Investigation • Digital Forensics
This program provides a comprehensive understanding of how forensic science and criminology can solve and prevent crime. It is a hands-on course utilising world-class facilities modelled on operational laboratories.
The curriculum combines theory and practice through core subjects and curated specialisations reflecting an applied and translational approach to criminology alongside forensic science. Students engage with industry-standard datasets, tools, problems, and cases ensuring they are work-ready. The course is campus based, but adopts a blended-learning approach to study, with asynchronous self-paced learning, synchronous online activities, collaborative learning, on-campus activities, and industry engagement through site visits and guest speakers.
Designed to meet current demands for graduate employment, this course balances critical skills needed to work in and transform the industry prepares graduates for careers in law enforcement and related agencies.
This degree combines theory and practice to address industry needs for an applied approach to criminology and specifically addresses the increasingly digital and transnational dimensions of crime. Students work with data sets, tools, problems and cases used in industry and contributed by UTS partners to be work-ready.
In the Bachelor of Criminology students are able to select from a standard major or an extended major:
Standard majors - Forensics, Data Analytics, or Justice and Legal Studies.
Extended majors - Data Analytics & Research, or Digital Forensics
In the Bachelor of Forensic Science students are able to select from 4 majors: Chemistry, Biology, Crime Scene Investigation, or Digital Forensics.
The course is offered primarily on campus, but individual subjects include aspects of asynchronous self-paced learning, synchronous online activities, collaborative learning and activities on campus, and industry engagement via site visits and/or guest speakers.
Pathways: The service of commissioned officers and those who have completed agency training courses is recognised as part of the basis for admission and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for fast-tracking of degree completion.
Course aims
The aim is to produce professional forensic scientists with highly adaptable scientific skills accompanied by a thorough grounding in social theory, methods and practice. This is a course with strong links to industries such as the federal and state police services, national and international forensic institutions, and government laboratories.
