Student view

"I wanted a course that was specific to Forensic Science and as Soundwell Centre is only five minutes from my home it was ideal. I enjoy the amount and range of practicals we do. We have dug up a burial site and studied traffic accident scenes.

"I want to be a Forensic Psychologist so my next step is to go to university and study Psychology, then do a Masters in Forensic Psychology."

Harriet, BTEC National Diploma in Applied Science
