Griffith’s Bachelor of Forensic Science is Queensland’s only dedicated and accredited forensic science degree, designed to give you the crime scene, laboratory and investigative skills trusted by employers. With a strong science-first approach and a focus on hands-on practical learning, you’ll graduate as a confident, job-ready forensic professional. Build strong foundations in chemistry and biology before applying them to forensic contexts—a critical advantage in a field where scientific accuracy matters. Study alongside a supportive student community, learn from approachable academics with real case experience and connect directly with industry through guest lectures, networking events and professional bodies such as the Australian and New Zealand Forensic Science Society (ANZFSS). You’ll gain a clear understanding of what forensic careers really involve and the multiple pathways available beyond traditional roles. Study core courses in biology, chemistry, molecular genetics and forensic investigation before progressing into your chosen major. In second and third year, you’ll refine your expertise through advanced lab work and applied forensic analysis, building a comprehensive, industry-relevant skillset. The strong lab, analytical and problem-solving skills you develop are highly transferable, opening career pathways beyond traditional forensic agencies into biomedical science, pharmaceuticals, healthcare and private laboratories.
