Master in Forensic Science Crime Scene Investigation

At University of Technology Sydney, tuition fees are 46,400 AUD per year.

Deciphering the truth behind complex criminal activity requires more than intuition; it demands the rigorous application of advanced scientific methodology to the physical traces left behind at a scene. The Crime Scene Investigation major, offered within the Bachelor of Forensic Science at UTS, equips students with the sophisticated technological and analytical toolkit necessary to detect, collect, and interpret evidence in high-stakes environments.

This programme bridges the gap between theoretical STEM knowledge and practical application in law and criminal justice. Students engage with the core pillars of modern forensics—including chemistry, anatomy, and cell biology—while gaining specialized expertise in:

• Forensic imaging and digital reconstruction
• The investigation of major crime scenes
• The analysis of biological traces and human remains
• Contemporary criminalistics and forensic intelligence

By operating within world-class facilities, such as the UTS Super Lab and dedicated forensic crime scene simulation labs, students transition from classroom theory to professional practice. The curriculum emphasizes critical thinking and data interpretation, preparing graduates not only for traditional roles in state and federal policing but also for diverse opportunities in national security, customs, and forensic research organizations.
