AND MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY
“Since leaving Keele and
obtaining a first class degree,
I have been employed by a
digital forensics company
as a trainee mobile phone
forensic analyst after bettering
30 other applicants. I firmly
believe that the education
and the experience I gained
from my time at Keele secured
me this amazing job and I
am forever grateful at the
expertise, friendliness, and
professionalism of the staff. “When I graduated from
Keele I quickly got a job at
the Forensic Science Service
working as a forensic analyst
in the road traffic accident
department. The knowledge
and lab experience I had
gained at Keele was a huge
influencing factor in securing
this job and going straight
into a forensic job after
graduating was an amazing
experience, my three years
of hard work and studying
had rewarded me with a
fantastic opportunity. My
next job landed me a role at
an environmental forensic
laboratory where I have been
working for 2 years. The
education and laboratory
skills I received at Keele have
undoubtedly led me to the
work experience and career
path I have today.” Having enjoyed chemistry
and biology at A level I
wanted to learn how science
can be applied to specific and
real life scenarios such as in
forensic science. I liked Keele
because it promoted rounded
study through dual honours
courses and after attending
an open day decided it was
my first choice as it offered an
impressive forensic science
course and was a welcoming
place to study.
The dual honours system
really made a difference as
I managed to gain the unique,
individual skills of both a
computer scientist and a
forensic scientist, which fits
perfectly within my job!
Thank you Keele, I will
miss you!”

Throughout my time at
Keele I felt a real sense of
community both among my
classmates but also with the
university population as a
whole. My overwhelming
memory of my university
life was of enjoying all
aspects of it!
