Since our first graduates in 2007, the forensic science course has had tremendous success regarding students’ employment into the forensic science field. The forensic science course has seen graduates employed as crime scene investigators (SOCOs), criminalists, accident investigators, drug analysts, forensic exhibits officers, police officers and others. The law enforcement industry also extends beyond the police services. It also includes aspects of border security, workplace accident investigation, fire investigation, customs, local rangers and environmental investigations. Career opportunities in government laboratories also provide forensic science positions in DNA analysis, drug analysis or forensic chemistry and pathology assistants.

Our courses open up a wealth of career choices, from criminology to computer science, and our years of experience give students a hard case to refute when it comes to employment opportunities.
