This is what some of
our graduates say:
Josh Tedd, BSc Computer
Science and Forensic Science Richard Bridgett, BSc Forensic
Science with Biology Rebecca Spruce, BSc Chemistry
and Forensic Science
“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.
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!” “I enjoyed my time as an
undergraduate at Keele
immensely. The variety of
topics studied and skills
acquired during the course are
stimulating and diverse and
it equips you well for various
jobs after graduating. Before
returning to undertake my
PhD at Keele on “The Isolation
of Feeding Stimulants within
Honey Bee Pollens”, I spent
time working for the forensic
investigations unit of Cheshire
Police where my role was to
routinely apply the techniques
I had learnt at Keele to the
enhancement and imaging of
fingerprints within casework.
I also worked for a global
pharmaceutical company where
I utilised the instrumental skills
I acquired through study of
chemical analysis.” “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.”
