This major reinforces the knowledge and practical skills required for crime scene investigation as a core forensic science discipline. It draws on key forensic science concepts such as evidence integrity and continuity, case file management, and the interpretation and presentation of forensic information. After completion of the major, students will be able to correctly document crime scenes through photography, note taking and diagrams, collect and analyse potential forensic evidence, interpret data from observations and scientific analyses, and present findings through written reports. As well as crime scene investigation, the major provides students with a solid grounding across a range of forensic science disciplines that include forensic biology, forensic chemistry and forensic anthropology.
