Bachelors in Forensic Laboratory Research
Do you have the right stuff?
Are you keen to contribute to the gathering of evidence in cases involving food fraud, environmental crimes and animal cruelty, or would you like to be trained as a forensic analyst in the police and judicial system? Then look no further. You have stumbled upon the only degree programme in the Netherlands that can train you for such careers. In addition to government agencies, private investigative agencies, insurance companies and financial institutions are increasingly turning to commercial forensic laboratories. These developments require the forensic analyst to be creative, communicate effectively and think in a customer-oriented manner.
Furthermore, the internationalisation of the professional field requires competence in functioning in multinational partnerships. The mission of your educators is thus to train professionals who are adept at finding truth and who are broadly and internationally employable. This goal is achieved through a uniquely composed, high-quality programme of focused education and innovative applied scientific research. Do you dare fight crime?
