Hey there , I'm not a Forensic science student but just for you I asked my friend Aneta who is in her third year to share of advice , she is obsessed with her course and will be going on to study her masters and probably even a PhD.
This is what she had to say :
•
The course is very versatile so you are able to find your passion it. If you prefer biology or chemistry you'll find something you'd like in the course .
•
I would encourage looking into the less obvious part of the course like photography and law as both are very relevant and more niche.
•
One of my fab experiences was the hands on trip involving fire and arson where we set a container on fire and then looked at the fore patterns and fore trends which ended up helping me in my exam where I got 86%.
Some general information about the course at my university :
•
Our professors are all previous professionals in the field with some having over 20 years of experience , they make the best mentors .
•
Our Forensic Science courses are ranked 7th best in the UK by The Guardian University Guide 2025.
•
The BSc is accredited by The Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences
•
Graduates thrive in top roles at the Home Office, GCHQ, AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, Police Authorities, Deloitte.
•
Students have been placed in highly competitive placement settings such as with the Metropolitan Police, East Midlands Special Operations unit (EMSO) and with internationally recognised companies such as Pfizer

Hiya I'm actually the student mentioned in the previous post. I'm Aneta and I have recently joined the team so if you have any other questions or advice I'm more than happy to talk more about this course as I've been studying it for 3 years and been passionate about it for more. One thing I can mention whilst I'm writing this message is that our students also get the opportunity to study abroad in America with the help of dmuglobal for a year.
So pop me a message at any moment 🙂

It's always great to see someone as exited about this subject as I am. If I could time travel and speak to my younger self about any tips for the start it would be the ones I'm about to mention.
Start getting familiar with academic lab reports—understanding how they’re structured early on will give you a great head start as a lot of the assessments are lab reports based of actual experimentations you conduct in the lab. And even just reading a few sample ones online helps build a foundation.
You’ll probably have a photography module early on, so brushing up on how cameras work (especially things like aperture, shutter speed, and lighting) can really help when it comes to crime scene photography and get you comfortable in how to hold and operate the camera. Which I completely forgot was a part of forensics and was really cool to learn about but I wish I just had that earlier knowledge.
Although most importantly—have fun first year and the start of it all ia something that i fondly remember. Meet new people, talk to your professors, and start building connections. Everyone you’ll meet shares a common passion for forensics, so it’s a great community to be a part of from day one, as maybe in the future the friends and connections you make end up being your coworkers
Kind regards Aneta 3rd year forensics
