Brock Forensic Psychology and Criminal Justice

Brock University

The published admission average for Forensic Psychology and Criminal Justice at Brock University is 83–87% for September 2027 entry, under OUAC code BFC.

You study how psychology applies to the criminal justice system — understanding why people commit crimes, how to interview suspects and witnesses, and how psychological evidence is used in investigations and court cases. This program combines criminal justice theory with forensic science rather than focusing only on general criminology or psychology alone. It suits people interested in law enforcement, victim services, court work, or research who want to understand both the human behaviour and legal sides of crime.

Plain-English summary. The universities publish requirements but not an explanation of the program, so this one is written for you and checked against the official listing above. Read the university’s own page before you decide.

What this leads to

The picture for forensic & archaeological sciences as of 2026-08-17, not a description of this particular program.

Forensic scientists oversee scientific testing and examinations, interpret complex scientific data, issue test reports and opinions, and testify as expert witnesses in courts. Archaeologists conduct field surveys, excavations, laboratory analysis, and research to understand past cultures; they also work on heritage preservation and ensuring development projects comply with heritage laws.

In its favour

Forensic science has more job postings: roughly 240 active positions across Canada in mid-2026
Average forensic scientist salary in Canada is $84,789
Archaeologists can work for universities, museums, government agencies, consulting firms, or Indigenous organizations — variety of employers
Forensic work is anchored to the criminal justice system, which won't disappear

Worth knowing

Entry-level forensic scientists earn $60,898, which is modest for four years of university
Archaeology is severely limited in Canada: only 36-75 posted jobs across the entire country, concentrated in project-based seasonal work
Archaeological technician roles pay median $26.31/hr — comparable to entry retail, requiring a degree
Most archaeology jobs require internships or field technician work first; you likely need grad school or years of contract work before stable employment

How AI is changing this work

Forensic science is beginning to use AI for faster DNA analysis, fingerprint matching, and image recognition of crime scenes — these are tools that speed up work but don't replace lab professionals yet. Digital forensics is growing as a specialism. Archaeology has limited AI integration at present; most work still relies on manual excavation and human interpretation. However, neither field is insulated from automation long-term, especially if AI improves at pattern recognition in artifacts or evidence. For forensic science specifically, you should expect the field to change during your career as automation takes routine analysis, but there will likely remain demand for expert testimony and complex case work that requires human judgment.
