Not only focused on the field of forensics, Forensic Science students have an advantage compared to similar programs offered by other universities due to the high chemistry content in the course structure, which is emphasized early in the program. Forensic Science students are also recognized as chemists upon graduation by the Malaysian Institute of Chemistry, in addition to their expertise as forensic specialists.
