The official master's degree in Forensic Genetics, Physics and Chemistry gives students the chance to specialise in the field of forensics. It has the following objectives:

  • To provide students with advanced multidisciplinary scientific training in the use of forensics in the fields of chemistry, physics, genetics and statistics so that they receive specialised training in a wide range of scientific disciplines involved in the scientific analysis of evidence from crime scenes or of events or circumstances that are subject to legal proceedings. On completing this training, students will have the knowledge and skills to become members of multidisciplinary teams in their future professional careers.
  • To enable students to develop the skills needed to interpret evidence from crime scenes using their knowledge of the chemical, physical and biological foundations of the principal techniques in forensic analysis.

To produce professionals with the competencies needed to carry out evaluations, reports, or appraisals for different public and private organisations or to apply their knowledge in laboratories that study problems related to forensic practice.


Pre-registration for the academic year 2024-25 is closed.

Pre-registration for the academic year 2025-26 will open in March 2025.
