Yes, you can pursue a master's in forensic science abroad after completing your bachelor's in criminology, as many universities accept criminology graduates for these programs.

Some master's courses may require specific science backgrounds or laboratory experience. For example:
- Sweden (Uppsala University): Requires a bachelor's in biology, biomedicine, molecular biology, chemistry, or a related area, plus lab work.
- Germany (Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg): Requires a bachelor's in biology, medicine, pharmacy, or a closely related field, with coursework in key biological subjects.

Your background in medical science may help you meet these prerequisites. Admission requirements vary by university and are subject to change.
