The University of Mauritius (UoM) is to introduce a course which will lead to a BSc in Forensic Science.
Speaking during a seminar at the UoM in Reduit, 15km from Port Louis organized by the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) with the collaboration of the British Staffordshire University (BSU) on the application of medico-legal sciences in police inquiries, Vidhu Madhub-Dassyne, Chief Forensic Scientist declared here that the introduction of the subject will facilitate criminal investigations.
She added that the aim will be to develop competences in medico-legal aspects as it has been noted that forensic science is continuously improving and that specialists are very few.
Vidhu Madhub-Dassyne declared that skin tissue and DNA analysis will form part of the studies.
For his part, David Flatman-Fairs, Senoir Lecturer of the Science faculty at the BSU elaborated on the importance of using forensic medicine during criminal inquiries.
Forensic Science, he added, is very important when the police has to determine the time of death of victims.
The seminar is being organized in the context of the project of the European Union : Developing Education, Skills and Capacity in Forensic Awareness, in order to develop such skills in the countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
The program is being financed by the European Union to the tune of €481, 000 and encompasses three universities, namely the British Staffordshire University, the University of Mauritius and the Jamaican University of Technology.
Police officers of the Scene of Crime Office and employees of the FSL are taking part in the seminar.

hi,
i`am originally from mauritius and right now i`am studying forensic science in the US, i don`t think you will have a career prospect in mauritius as it is a small island, if you want to work in the US where there is lots of forensic science jobs , it will not be possible. you must know that any degree from university of mauritius or any school or college in mauritius cannot be used to get a job in the US, it has no academic value in US , and also university of mauritius won`t be able to provide up to date equipments for practice and research in lab for students, these equipments might cost them millions and with the little tuition fees that student give, it will not be possible….! no practice means that during your internship or when working later, it will be very difficult for you. and also internship with a crime lab is needed ( like the fbi ,or any other) no internship means that you won`t get any job with that degree. but if you want to work only in mauritius it will be ok. furthermore it will cost less money to complete the degree, to complete a BS in forensic science (any track criminalistics, molecular biology or toxicology )degree in US, it will cost you $60,000 a year, if multiplied by 5 years for a Bs will be around $300,000, that is like 12 millions rs, and if you add a masters to it you must add $200,000 more. i strongly do not advise anyone to do the forensic science degree from mauritius because later if you do not get any jobs in mauritius, you cannot use the degree.
