The scientific and legal knowledge you'll gain, along with the highly analytical nature of this course, means you'll graduate with skills that are in demand by a wide range of employers.
 

Forensic science graduates go into varied types of laboratory work, and a significant number become science teachers. Careers within forensic science could include forensic biologist, DNA analyst, forensic chemist (trace evidence), forensic toxicologist, crime scene investigator, and many more. UWE Bristol forensic science graduates have gone on to roles with some of the country's largest forensic science providers, including Eurofins Forensics, Cellmark Forensic Services, and Key Forensic Services, as well as in a range of roles with the police.
 

The scientific problem-solving, numerical and analytical focus, as well as the communication and collaboration skills you will gain will also put you in a strong position for careers in other sectors. For example genetics, teaching, project management, financial services and law.
