Forensic sciences
Forensic sciences are one of the most important applied forensic sciences that the Naif Arab University for Security Sciences has given attention to since its inception. This is because they are the most important tool in criminal investigation and the administration of justice. The university began with the name "Forensic Laboratories", and then the College of Forensic Sciences. Recently, and in line with the university's strategy and ongoing development projects, these sciences have been placed under the umbrella of the College of Criminal Justice in an independent department that seeks to provide outstanding academic programs in the Diploma, Master's, and Doctorate levels in various specializations of forensic sciences. This is aimed at professionally and academically qualifying experts and workers in the criminal field in a way that enhances their scientific and practical capabilities.
The department is committed to incorporating key specializations within forensic sciences, ensuring they receive adequate attention and advancement. This includes traditional areas like fingerprint examination, document analysis, as well as advanced fields requiring sophisticated laboratory equipment and expert knowledge, such as toxicology, drug analysis, and DNA analysis. In recent times, there has been a growing focus on digital forensics due to its critical role in criminal investigations, especially in cybercrime cases. To deliver high-quality academic and practical programs and attain desired outcomes, the department has established and enhanced advanced laboratories equipped with state-of-the-art detection and analytical devices, advanced equipment, and cutting-edge technological resources.
