The UWI, Mona’s Forensic Science degree programme combines rigorous scientific and laboratory training with exposure to forensic science disciplines and further specialization in areas such as forensic chemistry, forensic molecular biology, forensic pathology and anthropology, or forensic toxicology.  Students are trained in statistical evaluation of forensic evidence, legal testimony related to testing procedures, results and interpretations, proper chain of custody procedures, expert witness courtroom testimony, report writing, good laboratory practices and the value of professional ethics. 

The programme equips graduates for careers in forensic science, basic research, and allied health or in the criminal justice system.
