B.Sc. Forensic Science

The School of Science at Renaissance University offers B.Sc. in Forensic science for all those who get fascinated by watching experts in action on popular TV shows and movies, those who get in action after a crime is committed, those who can be seen collecting evidence at a crime scene, analyzing it and obtaining results that ultimately aid in progressing the investigation. In simple terms, forensic science is the application of scientific methods and techniques to matters under investigation by a court of law. 

B.Sc. in Forensic science is a very vast field and has evolved noticeably in the recent years. It has been stimulated to the best use by the influx of latest technologies.
