Im in year 10 and i know/think what i'll be taking at 6th form; Geography, French, Biology, Chemistry. I enjoy all of these subjects. I havent looked into university courses much at all but i think what i need is a Bio-Chemistry course?
Just wanted to know if anyone had any further information on what qualifications i need or if this would be fine?
You can take a courses solely on Forensic Science, I think Edinburgh offer one, but you'd be better with a Bio-Chemistry course because you'll have many more options that way, even if you are set on forensic science atm.
I'm away to uni to study forensic science this year :D
The qualifications you need vary really from place to place, in Scotland you could get into the course with just a pass at bio or chem, other courses asked for at least a B and English at standard grade, some wanted A's.
I'm sure its pretty similar in England/wales too, as long as you've got biology and/or chemistry you should be fine.
My cousin did a degree in maths when she left school and she is now back in Uni doing this (can't spell it so i won't even try) I have no idea what she did at A level but because she got first class maths from Oxford she would have got in i think. I looked into studying this but then decided not to i think you would be safe doing 2 science math and another subject to show you have a broader knowlage other then science. I know law schools like an A level which is completely detached to law or the skills needed to do it.
Well i aspire to be a forensic scientist. I'm not 100% sure when it comes to uni but i know for college i'm taking:
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Maths
- Photography
I thought their was like more little jobs in Forensic Science, I was thinking of doing this. Like you got ones that work on crime scene and in labs. am really good in Science. IS the job fun?
