Re: Forensic Science

Remember that doing forensics might not be as hot as it looks on CSI

You can always do a few courses on it before you decide on majoring in BioChem etc.. From what I know, you need quite good fundamentals in Chemistry, and its not always an exciting subject as you can see from Main Page - Chemistry.

You need chemistry because of you need to know why and how you are duplicating your DNA (PCR) or how dusting for fingerprints work!

Re: Forensic Science

In Scotland you can do a degree in Chemistry and then in your final year do a post graduate forensics science course that then allows you to go and do a phD i think

Re: Forensic Science

But there are so many fields in forensics that chosing one of them cud make it hard. Opportunity wise, are there jobs available for the mass that completes their degree??
