Hello guys , i am new here ..

Anyone of you know anything about legal examiner / court doctor ? what is the pathway ? and where is the place to study ?

criminology in M'sia is in high demand not ? what is the pathway ?

What is forensic criminology ?
any private Uni /college provided forensic science ?

if we completed forensic science in degree ,is it possible to become court doctor if further study ?
much appreciated for those who are providing information =)

UKM and USM do offer forensic science.......but the job prospect is growing very slow......If you want to work at police department, they will require you to become a police then everything is good for you unless leave this field......

Court doctor, I will look them as a forensic pathologist.....You need to have MBBS or MD first then specialise in pathology.....this is the only way, be a doctor.......

I know there's this girl who studied forensic science, and she ended up working at a warehouse in a manufacturing company...

i have read some articles ..
they will not accept those who wear glasses as it considers as " police "
But most of the students are wearing and this makes them struggling after completed their degree .

How about the other countries .. like singapore ??

By the way .i' m doing A level right now .So ,is it possible for me to enter UKM or USM ?
any private uni ?

Honestly ,i kinda worry about my choice as it will affect and determin any future ,hoping will find some extra information at here .

It may sounds a bit unorthodox, but you may learn a lot of forensics stuff from CSI and Dexter

Why ? lost the passion ?But many people didnt get into the field which nothing related about the course that they studied
btw .. where did she graduate from ?

For the police, you should check their requirements....and there is no guarantee that you can work as a forensic scientist in the police department........

If you can afford overseas, then just go ahead, this field in Malaysia needs years to warm up....

i really respect those who work in this field. may i ask,what influences you to enter this field?

i think i'll complete my degree at M'sia then just go for further in overseas .

Better you take overseas degree and work there..........because

1) The course structure may not suit overseas workforce....

2) because of 1), you may get unemployed and stuck in Msia yourself

3) Very less local private uni offer this , I am not sure

really ?
but i have financial problem .couldnt afford the huge tuition fee ...

Can find out financial aid if your result is good......since you take A level, you still have broader choices.......

any other courses which related to this field ?

Applied Chem or Bio....not very sure....

MSU University offer this course.

i searched MSU website edi ,but the information is insufficient .Do u know any information ? is it new course in MSU ?
the only 1 private uni ?

I dunno whether it's new or not...

Ok , thanks anyway =)

Forensic science is a huge branch. A lot of field are directly or indirectly related to forensic science anyway. My course only touch briefly on forensic, and what can i say, its not my cup of tea. I reckon CSI are left for the police anyway, and forensic chemist are the one analysing the samples and whats not.

But i did have a chance to observe a real life autopsy, well, enlightening, but its not for the weak of heart.

Anyway i think anyone has a chance to be a legal examiner / court doctor since u are merely there to provide opinions regarding the evidence. But then the judge have a right to kick u out if ur credentials aren't good enough. Working experiences, education matters i guess.

^ correct me if i am wrong, i am just spitting out what the lecturer taught me.
