A master's degree typically takes between two and three years to complete, depending on the specific program of study and the credit load carried each semester.
Becoming a forensic scientist typically requires a bachelor's degree in forensic science or a related field, which takes about 4 years to complete. Some specialized roles may require additional education, such as a master's degree or PhD, which can add 2-5 more years of study.
Some disadvantages of being a forensic pathologist include the emotionally demanding nature of dealing with traumatic and violent deaths on a regular basis, long working hours that may include being on-call during nights and weekends, and the potential for burnout due to the intensity and volume of cases. Additionally, forensic pathologists may face challenges in balancing objectivity in their work with the need to provide closure and justice for families of the deceased.
Digestion rates can provide insights into the time of death by estimating how long ago a person consumed a meal based on the stage of digestion of food in the stomach and intestines. By analyzing the extent of digestion of food particles and comparing it to typical digestion rates, forensic scientists can approximate the time since the last meal, which can help narrow down the time of death. This information, along with other forensic evidence, can contribute to determining the timeline leading to death.
Becoming a geneticist typically requires a bachelor's degree in genetics or a related field, followed by a graduate degree (master's or Ph.D.) specializing in genetics. This process can take around 8-12 years, depending on the individual's educational path and whether they pursue additional training or certifications.
Most biological scientists need a Ph.D. degree in biology or one of its subfields to work in research or development positions. A period of postdoctoral work in the laboratory of a senior researcher has become common for biological scientists who intend to conduct research or teach at the university level. Education and training. A Ph.D. degree usually is necessary for independent research, industrial research, and college teaching, as well as for advancement to administrative positions. A master's degree is sufficient for some jobs in applied research, product development, management, or inspection; it also may qualify one to work as a research technician or a teacher. The bachelor's degree is adequate for some nonresearch jobs. For example, graduates with a bachelor's degree may start as biological scientists in testing and inspection or may work in jobs related to biological science, such as technical sales or service representatives. Some work as research assistants, laboratory technicians, or high school biology teachers. (See the statements elsewhere in the Handbook on clinical laboratory technologists and technicians; science technicians; and teachers-preschool, kindergarten, elementary, middle, and secondary.) Many with a bachelor's degree in biology enter medical, dental, veterinary, or other health profession schools. In addition to required courses in chemistry and biology, undergraduate biological science majors usually study allied disciplines such as mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science. Computer courses are beneficial for modeling and simulating biological processes, operating some laboratory equipment, and performing research in the emerging field of bioinformatics. Those interested in studying the environment also should take courses in environmental studies and become familiar with applicable legislation and regulations. Prospective biological scientists who hope to work as marine biologists should have at least a bachelor's degree in a biological or marine science. However, students should not overspecialize in undergraduate study, as knowledge of marine biology often is acquired in graduate study. Most colleges and universities offer bachelor's degrees in biological science, and many offer advanced degrees. Advanced degree programs often emphasize a subfield such as microbiology or botany, but not all universities offer curricula in all subfields. Larger universities frequently have separate departments specializing in different areas of biological science. For example, a program in botany might cover agronomy, horticulture, or plant pathology. Advanced degree programs typically include classroom and fieldwork, laboratory research, and a thesis or dissertation. Biological scientists with a Ph.D. often take temporary postdoctoral research positions that provide specialized research experience. Postdoctoral positions may offer the opportunity to publish research findings. A solid record of published research is essential in obtaining a permanent position involving basic research, especially for those seeking a permanent college or university faculty position. Other qualifications. Biological scientists should be able to work independently or as part of a team and be able to communicate clearly and concisely, both orally and in writing. Those in private industry, especially those who aspire to management or administrative positions, should possess strong business and communication skills and be familiar with regulatory issues and marketing and management techniques. Those doing field research in remote areas must have physical stamina. Biological scientists also must have patience and self-discipline to conduct long and detailed research projects. Advancement. As they gain experience, biological scientists typically gain greater control over their research and may advance to become lead researchers directing a team of scientists and technicians. Some work as consultants to businesses or to government agencies. However, those dependent on research grants are still constrained by funding agencies, and they may spend much of their time writing grant proposals. Others choose to move into managerial positions and become natural science managers (see engineering and natural sciences managers elsewhere in the Handbook). They may plan and administer programs for testing foods and drugs, for example, or direct activities at zoos or botanical gardens. Those who pursue management careers spend much of their time preparing budgets and schedules. Some leave biology for nontechnical managerial, administrative, or sales jobs.

"Forensic science" is almost a tautology, since forensics is the business of proving things and that's what all science seeks to do. However, supposing that the question means, "How long has science been used for evidence in trials at law?"the answer is almost as long as science has been recognized. Archimedes' discovery of specific gravity was in connection with a case of fraud.

about 6-8 years
There is no such thing as a degree in "writing", being able to write is a prerequisite of studying for any degree.
Definately UCT, Stellenbosch, Tukkies (Pretoria) and Wits. UJ does not. I'm not sure about the others but I think most of them would have some sort of course. Otherwise just take maths and statistics - you will still receive some excemptions from the board exams, just not as many as if you study a specific actuarial science degree.
after graduation it will take 2 years
* Associates degree --- 2 years * Bachelors degree ---- 4 years * Masters degree ------ 5 years * PhD degree ----------- 8 years
