Stewart Hall portrait"I was drawn to CSU's Bachelor of Forensic Biotechnology because it combined the essence of biomedical sciences with an application in a legal context, ensuring that when I complete my studies I can apply for work both in the medical/research field as well as within non-policing forensic work as either a crime scene technician or in diagnostics.

"I have learnt to communicate scientifically and professionally. My lecturers have supported me and led me in the right direction to pursue a career path in research. "Studying forensic biotechnology at CSU is definitely preparing me for the workforce. All my classes teach me the practical skills and the most up-to-date techniques employed, such as crime scene management and DNA extraction.

"I have organised to do a two-week clinical placement in Korea, which will be primarily immunology-based research. Other students have done placement in children's cancer research and pathology.

"The course is certainly one of the best, and I have been told so by crime scene technicians and forensic biologists in the industry."
