Hi, could you share your experience studying forensic science? maybe elaborate on the material that's taught and laboratory work that you get to do? what do you plan on doing after finishing the degree? :)

hi anon i love this question!! since i recently started i haven’t done that much but i can talk about some of the things i’m learning at the moment. we’ve covered a lot of topics like crime scene investigation, forensic bio, chem, and toxicology. we also learn about collecting and analyzing data, for example identifying unique fingerprint patterns under a microscope or analyzing blood spatter patterns to reconstruct the events of a crime scene. the lab work is def some of the most interesting things i’ve done! i’ve also been doing a lot of reading. i just finished the anatomy of violence by adrian raine, inside the criminal mind by stanton samenow, and am currently reading forensics by val mcdermid. the best advice i have for anyone interested in the subject is to read the works of professionals, they’re where i get most of my knowledge from. i’m still figuring out what i’d like to do after i finish my degree but ideally i’d be a crime scene investigator or forensic lab technician! hope this helps :)
