About this course

Forensic science applies the methods and rigour of natural science to the investigation of crime, providing the physical and biological evidence that criminal investigations and courts depend on. It is a field that encompasses biology, chemistry, physics, and information science, applied to contexts ranging from DNA profiling and toxicological analysis to digital forensics and document examination. The discipline demands both technical precision and an understanding of the legal frameworks within which scientific evidence is gathered, interpreted, and presented.
