Forensics is a method used to determine what happened before, during, and after a crime. There are a lot of ethical implications in this field as it deals with science and law and is an extremely interesting and adventurous domain to opt for.

Apart from good communication skills and ability to work well in a team, risk analysis is a major skill taught in a forensics program, which students can apply both in life and job. Candidates should also be good in attention-to-detail and critical thinking, analytical observation, and an eye for detail, as they help students solve problems, and analyze the consequences of a single act.
