Degree Opportunities

At the Ontario Tech University, students who have completed their undergraduate degree in Forensic Science can  complete a Master's or Doctorate in Applied Bioscience (APBS).

Forensic Bioscience is one of the multi-disciplinary fields within the APBS graduate program. It is a distinct field that combines special content areas of biological and chemical sciences with training in legal and forensic investigations. National security, bioterrorism, and global pandemics are just three examples of areas in which skilled forensic bioscience workers will be in high demand in the future. For many scientists, the field of forensic bioscience crystallizes an area of research at the interface between biology, chemistry, forensic science, and legal science.
