Forensic Science with a Year Abroad BSc (Hons)

Studying Forensic Science at Kent will give you the chance to study many forensic disciplines, with a focus on developing scientific and analytical skills, preparing you for employment or further study. We create ‘crime scenes’ - using our brand new crime scene house - for you to examine, investigate and react in real time to an unfolding event. Our fascinating and distinct course also gives you a solid understanding of analytical chemistry, opening up a wider range of career opportunities, as well as demonstrating how your forensic skills can be used within archaeology and the food and pharmaceutical industries. We also have a specialist employer engagement officer who can help you secure valuable internship and training opportunities to increase your career potential. On our exciting new course you spend the third year of this four-year degree at one of our partner universities, which could include institutions in the USA, Canada and Hong Kong. As well getting the chance to experience new cultures and places, you will be able to study courses outside of Forensics – broadening your horizons and opening more career opportunities. Our Forensic Science courses are accredited by The Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences and all students on the programme are offered free student membership for the duration of their degree. Kent has the largest block of student members of the society than any other university worldwide.
