Program overview
Criminal science and technology, simply put, is 'solving crimes with science.' You'll analyze fingerprints, footprints, bloodstains, DNA, toxins, and even bullet trajectories in the lab, turning every clue at a crime scene into solid evidence in court. Core courses include Trace Evidence Analysis, Forensic Medicine, Criminal Imaging Technology, Physical and Chemical Testing, DNA Analysis, and Crime Scene Investigation. Chinese universities offer strong practical features in this field, with many schools collaborating with public security departments to provide real-case simulation training—such as the Criminal Investigation Police University of China and the People's Public Security University of China. This major suits students who are detail-oriented, logical, interested in chemistry and biology, and not bothered by crime scene photos.
