Careers
This course provides an excellent grounding for any career that involves the collection, analysis and interpretation of information or evidence, as these skills are taught in core modules and transferable to many careers. The graduate attributes that are routinely required by employers are embedded into the Forensic Investigation curriculum and therefore, graduates are normally able to evidence these skills, preparing them for a range of careers.
This is evidenced by ex-students who have secured positions in forensic organisations, the UN, police forces, prisons, medical laboratories, schools and universities. Many have gone onto higher degree studies at Christ Church and other universities at home and abroad. We even have our own home-grown PhD students.
Many students have ambitions to become Crime Scene Investigators, and we are delighted they have achieved this dream locally (Kent) and further afield (London and elsewhere). The role requires immense dedication and resilience - we will do our best to support you in applying your knowledge and skills in this. However, our guest lecturers bring with them a wealth of experiences, and students discover new ambitions and inspiration through their sessions. What might you become?
Potential opportunities exist as investigators for: National Crime Agency, the Military, Independent Office for Police Conduct, Security Services, in commerce, and so on. You will be encouraged to make the most of the volunteering and networking opportunities available throughout your degree course, in addition to your studies, in order to enhance your employment prospects.
