## Study Digital Forensic Science
In our increasingly digital world, online crimes like identity theft, financial scams and cyberattacks are on the rise. This has created an urgent demand for skilled digital forensic specialists who can deploy sophisticated technological skills to detect and analyse digital traces.
Delivered by one of Australia's foremost science faculties, the UTS Bachelor of Forensic Science majoring in Digital Forensics is the first of its kind in Australia. With its industry-informed curriculum, world-class tech labs and access to the internationally acclaimed UTS Centre for Forensic Science, this program will take you beyond the textbook, giving you the advanced technological capabilities required to launch a rewarding, successful future as a digital forensic professional.
Digital Forensic Science is a major within the Bachelor of Forensic Science. During your degree, you'll complete eight core disciplinary subjects that are firmly embedded in forensic science regardless of the major you select, including but not limited to forensic imaging, forensic intelligence, criminalistics and a practical research project. Within the major you'll learn to identify and interpret digital traces in common online environments, build the skills to recover stolen or damaged data and provide crucial insights into criminal activity.
Elective units allow you to experience subjects from across other disciplines. You also have the opportunity to undertake research or professional experience for academic credit.

## Explore
“Growing up, I was really interested in science and technology. Having the opportunity to have guest lectures given by people in industry is something that really stood out to me and revealed a whole side of digital forensics outside of law enforcement that I didn’t realise was there. Studying the digital major in the Bachelor of Forensic Science has made me a lot more confident in my skills and to work alongside other people doing this unique degree.”
