second cycle of studies leading to a master

degree in Forensic Sciences aims to create

a space for specific training of professionals in

order to address issues related to evidence including

obtaining scientific evidence, in a multidisciplinary

context. The aim is thus to promote

scientific research in this area, preventing

foreign counterparts.

The student must, after completing this cycle

of studies, be able to develop scientific investigation

in the field of Forensic Sciences with

a certain autonomy, namely in his/her area of

specialization.

who intend to apply for jobs related to the field of forensic

sciences, whether at a national level (such as

the National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic

Sciences, IP, in the Organs of Criminal Police, the Judicial

work), or abroad.
