CDA College has further reinforced the practical aspects of the programme. In almost all modules of the program there are case studies on criminal matters which promote the in depth knowledge of the theories but also enhance the practical application. Furthermore, in order to gain more practical experience and training, the College enriched the program with more onsite visits to institutions related to the programme of studies so as to expose our students to fascinating educational activities. These activities can have a positive impact on a students’ education and attitude to learning inside and outside of the lecture room. The students will gain more practical knowledge of police management and crime control and achieve the planned learning objectives.

 

We plan educational visits every academic year, including:

 

Criminalistic Service Department that consists seven laboratories for forensic examination:

    • Crime Scene Investigation & Fingerprint Development Laboratory
    • Criminalistic Examinations Laboratory
    • Document Examination Laboratory
    • Exhibits Reception Office
    • Fingerprints Identification Laboratory (F.I.L)
    • Laboratory of Security Documents & Printing Methods
    • Photographic & Graphic Laboratory
    • Physical Sciences Forensic Laboratory
