The Academy has accredited the following study programmes: basic academic studies in: Criminalistics, Forensic Engineering, Computer Science; basic professional (vocational) studies in Criminalistics; graduate studies – master’s studies in: Criminalistics, Forensic Engineering, Computer Science; specialist studies in Criminalistics. The Academy is currently in the process of accreditation of doctoral (PhD) studies in criminalistics and law, forensic engineering, and informatics and computing, and is in an on-going process of transformation into the University.
Besides delivering study programmes for the purpose of police education, the Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies also carries out scientific and research work in the domain of criminalistics (crime investigation), police and security sciences. The Academy has been accredited by the Ministry of Science of the Republic of Serbia as a scientific research organization.
