Hi Claudia
You will need to take Physical Science, Life Science (Biology) and core Maths for matric in order to be accepted at a University offering a BSc degree in Molecular Biology if you’re considering a career in Forensic Genetics (DNA).

My daughter wants to study forensic but not sure which degree does it fall under. She is accepted for B Soc Sc and BA general. Can you kindly help with this.
Hi Charlotte
The University of the Free State have begun offering an undergraduate B.Sc. degree in forensic science from this year, the first of its kind in South Africa, and on a postgraduate level if she are considering a career in Forensic Genetics (DNA) then she will need to complete a B.Sc. and major in Genetics and Biochemistry or Molecular Biology. Thereafter she can complete an honours degree (1 year) where she would specialise in forensic DNA analysis. Currently there are two Universities offering such a degree. These are the University of Free State and the University of Cape Town.
The contact person at UFS is Dr. Karen Ehlers: EhlersK.SCI@ufs.ac.za and at UCT is Dr. Marise Heyns: marise.heyns@uct.ac.za
