Of Forensic Science students who graduated from Kent in 2017 and completed a national survey, over 88% were in work or further study within six months (DLHE).
We offer Forensic Science with a Year in Industry, which can provide you with further valuable skills at an industrial placement. This greatly enhances your CV and gives you the opportunity to apply your academic skills in a practical context.
Hear Natalie talk about why she chose to study Forensic Science with a Year ...in Industry at the University of Kent.
