Who We Are

Shaping the Future of Forensic Science

The School of Forensic Sciences at Centurion University was founded to deliver high-quality education in forensic science, cybersecurity, and digital forensics. It aims to meet the growing need for skilled professionals and support the justice system amid rising crime rates and limited forensic expertise.

The department began in 2021 with a B.Sc. in Forensic Science. It expanded with an M.Sc. in Forensic Science in 2024, and the department was promoted to become the School of Forensic Sciences in 2025. From the 2026 academic year, we introduced two new programmes: M.Sc. Cyber Security & Cyber Forensics and M.Sc. Forensic Psychology.

🔭 Vision

To be an inclusive centre for education, training, and research in Forensic Science and allied professions to create sustainable livelihoods.

Create much-required forensic experts in the field of investigative science.
Develop a robust platform for students to interact with experts and build problem-solving skills.
Sensitize students to harness scientific technologies in investigative science.
Strengthen the justice delivery system leading towards equality, integrity and peace.
