Master Studies – 1 year

The study program provides a comprehensive theoretical and practical foundation in the scientific, legal, and investigative aspects of forensic science and technology. It is a lec-ture-based program that also includes designated laboratory periods/days, dedicated to forensic examinations and experiments in diverse areas of expertise. The focus is on the fields of chemistry, engineering (chemical, material science, mechanical, forensic), and biology/genetics, keystone areas for future forensic scientists, as well as forensic science and material science engineers. Enrollment procedure for foreign students.

Lectures are organized in modernly equippedteaching rooms and laboratories at the university, as well as at the laboratories of the National Forensic Center (Ministry of Interior), Institute of Physics Belgrade, and other national institutes with which UCIPS has established collaboration.

Students are trained to be able to apply scientific methods in forensic science and engineering, as well as in material science. One of the main objectives and educational outcomes is to provide scientifically-based expertise and achieve admissible evidence in criminal law cases, to improve the effectiveness of crime-fighting efforts.

The program provides the possibility of employment in law enforcement and other government organizations, as well as in non-state commercial entities, in workplaces that require identification of different types of materials, individuals, etc.

In addition, two sections focused on specific areas of expertise operate at the Faculty of Forensic Sciences and Engineering:

• Polymer forensics section

• Section for genetics
