SCHOOL OF FORENSIC SCIENCE
MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
In a world increasingly shaped by data, deception, and digital footprints, forensic science is no longer just a discipline it is a responsibility. As forensic professionals in training, you are not merely acquiring knowledge; you are preparing to be the voice of truth when silence surrounds injustice.
At the Department of Forensic Science, we don’t just teach techniques—we shape minds that question, investigate, and stand resilient in the face of uncertainty. Here, evidence is not just collected; it is understood, interpreted, and presented with clarity and conviction.

Head, Department of Forensic ScienceRecognition & Approvals
