But yeah, to conduct an autopsy u must be a qualified pathologist first (mbbs or doctor). I was just lucky to have that chance, thanks to the guest lecturer.
Most probably forensic science course offered in most unis touch on the forensic chemist aspect, like analysing content of substance, analysing the evidence threads, fibres etc. But then again, i think if u take chemistry instead of forensic science it would be a better choice as i think the only place to work as a forensic chemist is the jabatan kimia malaysia linked directly to the police.

What he said.
I'm from USM Health Campus, here we got Forensic Science course. I must tell you, the course is indeed very interesting. However, most of my Forensic friends were disappointed when they found out they do not deal with corpses and autopsy, more lab works. (these friends of mine thought they are going to cut and cut mayat). They did have to go to see crime scenes if there were any accidents, murders happened. But if you want to be a court doctor, a coroner, doing autopsy you need first to take Medicine, get a MD or MBBS then pursue your MSc in forensics pathology or related. You cant deal with autopsy if you start with Forensic Science degree..
Oh I'm not Forensics student btw.
