Bachelor of Science in Forensic Sciences

The Bachelor of Science in Forensic Sciences at Amity University Dubai is an undergraduate program introducing students to the scientific methods used to investigate crimes and support legal proceedings. Taught in English in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the program is accredited by the UAE Commission for Academic Accreditation. Forensic science as a field of study typically covers chemistry, biology and physics as applied to criminal investigation, along with specialized topics such as crime scene analysis, fingerprint and trace evidence examination, forensic toxicology, forensic biology and an introduction to digital forensics. Students learn how evidence is collected and preserved at a crime scene, how laboratory techniques are used to analyze biological, chemical and physical evidence, and how the results of forensic analysis are documented for use in criminal justice proceedings. Coursework generally combines foundational science courses with specialized forensic laboratory training, giving students hands-on experience with the techniques used to examine evidence such as fingerprints, biological samples, and trace materials found at crime scenes. Students also study the legal framework surrounding evidence handling, including chain of custody requirements and the standards evidence must meet to be used in court. Graduates of undergraduate forensic science programs typically pursue entry-level careers as forensic technicians, crime scene assistants, laboratory technicians or evidence analysts working with law enforcement agencies, forensic laboratories or government investigative bodies, and the degree also serves as a foundation for further postgraduate specialization in forensic science, toxicology or forensic biology. The program suits students with strong interests in science who are drawn to applying laboratory skills within a criminal justice and investigative context.
