Thanks to this Hybrid professional master’s degree, you will analyze the physical and biological evidence in a meticulous way. You will contribute to solving the most complex criminal cases!”

The intersection between Psychiatry and the judicial system has given rise to the specialty of Forensic Psychiatry, a crucial discipline for the evaluation of the mental competence of defendants. According to a recent study, approximately 55% of criminal cases require psychiatric evaluations to determine the defendants' competency to stand trial. In the face of this, professionals play a key role in the proper assessment of mental competency.

Therefore, it is necessary for these specialists to incorporate into their procedures the most advanced methodologies to help determine the psychological capacity and legal responsibility of individuals involved in legal cases. 
Within this framework, TECH presents a pioneering Hybrid professional master’s degree in Legal and Forensic Medicine. Under a theoretical-practical approach, the academic itinerary will delve into aspects ranging from Thanatology or Forensic Pathology to the Evaluation of Damage. In this way, graduates will develop advanced skills to analyze evidence in a precise manner. At the same time, the syllabus will provide experts with skills in the collection, preservation and evaluation of evidence at crime scenes. In this way, professionals will perform detailed autopsies that will determine the cause of death and contribute to the clarification of criminal cases. 

Moreover, TECH has developed an academic pathway based on flexibility. The only thing doctors will need is an electronic device with Internet access to enter the Virtual Campus and enjoy the most dynamic academic content on the market. In addition, this virtual platform offers a library full of multimedia resources (such as interactive summaries, case studies or specialized readings) to strengthen learning and ensure that it is enjoyable.
