ObjectivesTo work as an analyst in a Forensic Laboratory, a high level of skill as an analytical chemist is required. This programme is ideal if you are studying Chemistry A-level, have an interest in analytical chemistry and want to apply your knowledge of chemical analysis to Forensic investigation.
Entry requirementsThere are different entry qualifications for each programme. Some programmes require you to have a certain amount of knowledge in a subject before you begin the degree programme – this is called a ‘subject requirement’. Other programmes do not have any specific subject requirements. All programmes will, however, expect you to have reached a certain standard in your education and will ask you to achieve certain grades in your examinations. Most programmes have a standard offer so that you know in advance what you are likely to need. Please note that even if you have the minimum entry qualifications, you are not necessarily guaranteed a place on the degree programme.
