Forensics & Arts, Forensics & Science
A joint major in Forensics gives you a unique educational experience that equips you with an interdisciplinary knowledge base, a strong understanding of world issues, and well-honed critical thinking and analytical skills.
A joint degree in Forensics and Anthropology or Archaeology is an ideal path for students interested in identifying human remains or investigating grave sites.
Interested in a career specializing in ballistics? A joint major in Physics and Forensics will help with reconstructing the trajectory of bullets at a crime scene.
Pairing a degree in Computer Science or Computing Systems with Forensic Science could launch a career investigating cybercrime. The possibilities are nearly limitless.
No matter the path you choose, you’ll benefit from industry-level training and hands-on opportunities, including studying in Trent’s state-of-the-art forensics facilities.
