- ### Course description

  As the first forensic science degree in Australia, the world-class UTS Bachelor of Forensic Science is recognised for producing future leaders in this compelling field of practice. More than just a theoretical science degree, this course delivers a comprehensive learning experience at the intersection of STEM, information technology, law, criminology and social impact coupled with specialist expertise in a choice of four in-demand forensic science disciplines: biology, chemistry, crime scene investigation, and digital forensic science.

  The course integrates core scientific or information technology subjects with specialist forensic science subjects. In every major, you'll complete core forensic science subjects that prepare you to engage with crime scene, laboratory, courtroom and intelligence processes. Within your major you'll gain technical skills, workplace readiness, and deep expertise in your chosen major, whether it's analysing biological traces, chemical substances, crime scenes, or digital data.

  You'll learn through a mix of theoretical study and practical application, using state-of-the-art facilities like the Superlab, specialist forensic facilities and Crime Scene Simulation Labs. Teaching is led by renowned academics and industry experts from the Centre for Forensic Science, ensuring your education is current and industry-relevant.

  By the end of the course, you'll have a comprehensive skill set, ready to tackle real-world forensic challenges and contribute to the evolution of the forensic science profession

  The Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation (BCII) enhances your discipline-specific studies with a powerful, future-focused edge. Designed as a transdisciplinary degree, the BCII brings together students from a wide range of fields to develop advanced skills in critical and creative thinking, innovation, complexity, collaboration, entrepreneurship, and future scenario planning. From day one, you’ll work on real-world challenges alongside industry partners, applying high-level conceptual thinking and practical problem-solving across diverse professional contexts. This unique approach boosts your employability and prepares you for leadership roles in an ever-changing world.

  This course provides students with a thorough understanding of how forensic science can solve and prevent crime. This is a hands-on course using world-class facilities that are modelled on operational laboratories. The course is well regarded nationally and internationally, with strong links to industries such as the federal and state police services, national and international forensic institutions, and government laboratories.

  By focusing on the high-level conceptual thinking and problem-solving practices that lead to the development of innovative, creative and entrepreneurial outcomes, students of the combined degree also gain leading edge capabilities that are highly valued in the globalised world, including dealing with critical and creative thinking, invention, complexity, innovation, future scenario building and entrepreneurship, and the ability to work on their own across disciplines. These creative intelligence competencies enable graduates to navigate in a rapidly changing world.

- ### Transdisciplinary Electives at UTS

  Employers tell us the skills our graduates acquire from undertaking a [Transdisciplinary Elective](https://www.uts.edu.au/for-students/transdisciplinary-innovation/transdisciplinary-electives) sets them apart from the crowd. That’s why we have embedded this program into every undergraduate degree.

  All you need to do is choose the Elective that inspires you the most.

  Transdisciplinary Electives integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines, allowing you to approach complex problems from a range of perspectives.

  By combining methods and insights from various disciplines, transdisciplinary learning often leads to breakthrough ideas and creative innovations that may not be possible within the confines of a single discipline.

  If you find yourself rapt by the world of innovation – you can pair your core degree with a [Diploma in Innovation](https://www.uts.edu.au/for-students/transdisciplinary-innovation), graduating with two qualifications in the same timeframe.

  In both instances, you’ll work on a real-world challenge presented by an [industry partner](https://www.uts.edu.au/about/faculties/transdisciplinary-school/partnerships/how-get-involved/project-based-engagements/industry-innovation-project) organisation – partners who often create career pathways for our graduates.

  \* Excludes students concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation.
