Hello. I'm 15, and I'm currently doing my GCSEs, and I'm starting to properly consider careers and uni. I'd love to go into forensic science, either as a crime scene investigator or something in forensic serology. As you may be able to tell, I actually like gore.
In terms of A-levels, I plan to do Biology, Chemistry, Geography, and then one other subject (possibly English Lit.) In case you're curious, I'm doing Geography just in case I decide to go into a different career. Do these sound okay to you?
Also, what uni course should I take for each of those careers (Crime Scene Investigator/Forensic Serologist)?
Some people say to take a straight Forensic Science degree, and some say do a Chemistry or Biology degree. Whatever I do in terms of undergraduate study, I plan to go on to either gain experience in a forensics lab or specialise by doing an MSc.
I suppose the idea behind doing a degree in Forensic Science is that it gives you more choice in the forensics field, but some people say it's a soft subject. Is this true?
