B.Sc. in Forensic Science

Forensic science is the application of scientific methods to criminal investigations. This degree at C.K. Tedam University is offered through the School of Chemical & Biochemical Sciences, and it draws on chemistry and biology to analyse evidence from crime scenes.

What forensic science actually covers

Programmes of this kind typically cover crime scene investigation, evidence collection and preservation, analysis of biological and chemical traces, toxicology, DNA profiling, and forensic reporting. You build hands-on laboratory skills and learn how to interpret scientific evidence for legal purposes. The work requires careful observation, logical reasoning, and a strong foundation in the sciences.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other natural science degrees at C.K. Tedam University. If you have an SHS background in Agriculture, General Science, or Home Economics, you can apply. You will need good grades in your core science subjects, but you do not need to worry about tight admission cut-offs. Check with the university to see if your specific grades qualify.

Where the degree can take you

Graduates of forensic science programmes often go into forensic laboratories, police forensics units, hospitals, or research institutions. Typical roles include forensic analyst, crime scene investigator, toxicologist, and laboratory technician. Many graduates also pursue further study in specialised areas like DNA analysis or forensic chemistry.
