Forget what you might have seen on TV shows like CSI and Bones. Real forensic science is much more complex; giving you a firm grounding in the sciences as a foundation for forensic investigations.
Forensic science applies scientific knowledge to legal matters. Forensic scientists strive to provide impartial evidence for use in courts to support the prosecution or defense in criminal and civil investigations. Saint Mary’s University has the only forensic science program east of Toronto, and you can apply for this program during the first year of your undergraduate degree. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Most students take the Forensic Sciences Certificate at the same time as a BSc (usually Biology or Chemistry). You can also combine the Forensic Sciences Certificate with a BA in Criminology. |
