What is BSc Forensic Science?

Forensic science applies biology, chemistry, physics and digital technology to questions that end up in a courtroom. Who left this fingerprint? What substance is in this sample? Was this document altered? A forensic scientist answers with evidence, not opinion. The course trains you in the laboratory and in crime-scene method: how to collect an item without contamination, how to record who handled it (the chain of custody) and how to write a report that stands up to cross-examination. Careers go beyond police work: private labs, cyber-security firms, banks and insurers also hire forensic graduates.

Choose a partner university tied up with Apollo Healthcare Academy (see our partner universities), train at a nearby Apollo or partner hospital, and get hands-on experience, career guidance and job and placement support from AHA. Your partner university awards the degree.

CAREER OUTLOOK

Build a Rewarding Career in Forensic Science

Demand comes from laboratories, investigation agencies and private firms that need people who can handle and analyse evidence.

where graduates are hired

Government forensic laboratories and police crime branches.
Private forensic and testing labs, security and law firms.
Cyber-security firms, and banks and insurers that investigate fraud.

route to officer posts

Scientific officer posts in forensic laboratories are filled through recruitment notices that often ask for a master's degree.
For example, a Delhi forensic laboratory notice for Junior Scientific Officer (Documents) asks for a master's in Physics, Chemistry or Forensic Science.
A BSc opens assistant and technician roles directly and is the first step towards officer posts through an M.Sc. Read each notice for its own eligibility.
