    About

    Use chemistry and biology to analyse evidence, help investigate crime and contribute to justice. Undertake one of two streams. Forensic and analytical chemistry combines the practices of analytical chemistry and forensic investigation. Forensic biology uses aspects of life sciences to examine biological material in a forensic context. The degree weaves core analytical skills with the principles, knowledge and practices of forensic biology and forensic chemistry.

    • Choose a stream in forensic and analytical chemistry or forensic biology
    • Get hands-on experience during laboratory practicals and learn how forensic technologies are applied to real-life cases
    • Opens career options in areas such as illicit drug testing, DNA analysis, trace evidence examination and toxicology
    • Analyse and identify evidence such as illicit drugs, human body fluids, and trace evidence such as textile fibres and glass
    • Strong links with Forensic Science South Australia and other agencies and researchers around the world
    • Access research facilities among Australia's best
