Bachelor of Science (Chemistry, Zoology/Honours/Honours with Research) (with Minor in Forensic Science) - Overview

The Chemistry and Zoology Bachelor of Science program with a Minor in Forensic Science offers a robust blend of fundamental science and application-oriented learning. It integrates core concepts of chemical sciences and animal biology with the analytical rigor of forensic investigation, ensuring that students develop a strong conceptual foundation alongside practical laboratory competence. Emphasizing hands-on training, the curriculum nurtures skills in qualitative and quantitative analysis, microscopy, toxicology, ecology, and physiology, preparing students to address real-world scientific and investigative challenges.


Specialized Zoology and Chemistry courses are complemented by focused Forensic Science modules, enabling students to understand how scientific principles are applied in crime scene examination, evidence collection, and laboratory analysis. This interdisciplinary structure equips graduates with competencies relevant to emerging opportunities in forensic laboratories, environmental agencies, wildlife conservation, pharmaceuticals, and diagnostic laboratories. Through guided projects, case-based learning, and experimental work, students gain proficiency in techniques such as forensic chemistry, DNA analysis, and trace evidence evaluation, effectively bridging classroom learning with professional practice.
The program recognizes the growing societal and legal importance of scientific evidence, highlighting the synergy between chemical analysis, zoological knowledge, and forensic applications. By emphasizing ethical responsibility, scientific integrity, and sustainability, it prepares students to contribute responsibly to criminal justice, biodiversity conservation, and public health. Graduates are thus well-positioned for higher studies in Chemistry, Zoology, or Forensic Science, as well as for careers that demand analytical thinking, meticulous observation, and interdisciplinary problem-solving.
