Forensic Science/Medicine
Is it possible to take forensic science at university? And if so what qualifications are needed if either forensic science or medicine are a possibility for me in the future?
Also would it be able to interchange between the two, for example if i trained as a doctor would i later be able to become a forensic scientist?

I do believe you can do forensic science at uni, as i have heard a Royal Society of Chemistry lecture done by a guy who did forensic science at uni...i, however, am not sure whether it would be easy to go into a forensic science degree/job after doing medicine. Both would require at least chemistry a-level and probably biology...at least something in maths would complement those as well.
Medicine needs at least AAB, and requires Chemistry and usually at least one other science.
THere are Forensic Science degrees, but usually at old poly uni's, and don't require very high grades. THer are elements of all sides of Forensics involved like preparing you to report in a court and criminology and stuff. However I want to be a Forensic Scientist and I was told to do a mainstream chemistry or biology degree, which a speacialist stream in it (eg my degree involves modules in Analytical and Forensic Chemistry). I was told this gives me a better grounding, and more chance of getting into forensics.
You can do a medical degree and become a forensic pathologist (the person that looks at the dead bodoes to find out how they died etc), which I thought would be a really good job (but you would need to have got AAB to go to med school, speand 6 years there, and then a further year as a junior before you became a proper doctor, and would then have to practise as a surgeon before getting into pathology).
Good Luck!!

medicine - abb is the least. i think abc at peninsula medschool(sometimes).
There has been some articles written in the Guardian about people studying crinimolgy and forensic sciences basicaly they said it terms of the job market its pretty much useless.
If you want to get into that area get a proper medicine degree or one that the authorities will regconise. Check before applying.
