The Bachelor of Forensic Science (Honours) provides students with training and skills required for undertaking research in forensic science as well as further developing their investigative and communication skills in the forensic science context.

Honours students have access to staff who are leading researchers and experts in their fields. The course also offers the opportunity for students to undertake a research project within one of the research groups at UTS or collaboratively with an external organisation. Undertaking an honours course allows students to explore their research potential and develop research skills. Honours also provides a pathway for students interested in pursuing postgraduate studies at master's and doctorate level, and enhances graduates' career and study options.
