Our students

The Forensic science course at Staffs offered learning about a wide range of different fields within forensics; crime scene investigation, forensic biology, chemistry, digital forensics, firearms, court reporting, taught in the crime scene house, the court in Hanley…  

All of this was great because I hadn't known what type of work I wanted to pursue a career before university, and by learning all of these different fields provided tasters of the work they involved.

The lecturers here at Staffs actually care how you’re doing and how they could make things better for you. I would absolutely recommend my course to anyone, and I do, the lecturers go above and beyond to help and the facilities available here are phenomenal. From the crime scene house to the fake court room, Staffs really enables you to get that ‘real life experience’ from day one!
