Hello there
Forensic Scientists follow an investigatory approach, and thus hunt, and analyse physical evidence, such as blood, bodily fluids, hair fibres etc., to help solve crimes. Criminologists, on the other hand, follow an explanative approach that seeks to understand the reasons for crime, and the societys response to it, at large.

Criminology is a highly specialised course, and hence only a handful of institutes like the Symbiosis School for Liberal Arts, offer a B.A/ B.Sc degree program, in Criminology & Parapsychology. You can also pursue BSc Psychology, Sociology and so on.

A masters degree is required to enter the professional workspace. While some universities offer specific programs in Criminology, many offer forensic sciences, in combination with criminology.

Criminologists are driven by a passion for creating an impact, and for fighting crime. A career in criminology is showcased by many popular TV shows like Sherlock, CSI Miami, and Numbers, all of which portray their protagonists as strong analysts, keen observers, ardent researchers, and strong-valued individuals.

Hope this information helps you.
Good luck!!
