Cheap and not to far from University

The best aspect of the university in terms of the forensic courses is the level of support that teachers are willing to go to make sure that students are getting the best experience. Practical work e.g. mock crime scenes, forensic analysis of evidence, bone labs, paperwork & mock courts are some of the best I have seen so far. Forensic lectures are taught by forensic scientists & people who have 10- 40+ years experience, therefore, I feel confident that everything I am being taught is from the best of the best. I can confidently say that since coming to the University of Bradford, opportunities have opened for me such as the opportunity to go on placement during my course, flexible timetabling, part time work & plenty of societies for students. The university offers forensic labs, a bone lab, a virtual anatomy lab for forensic medical students which aid us in learning anatomy & dealing with bodies at crime scenes. Placement opportunities are endless which so many options to choose from that I often cannot decide which I should choose. Diversity is incredibly important for many students including myself. This university welcomes all from the upper to the lower class, giving us all equal opportunities & treating us all as equals. I feel that I can express my concerns & my worries freely in this university & not be judged for it. I feel that I can practice my religion freely & I am celebrated for it. The University of Bradford welcomes everyone from across the globe & has made international students feel at home & well supported as it can be rather difficult moving to a different country & having a massive culture shock. Student support is ridiculously helpful, with staff who are down to earth & understand your needs & worries. This is incredibly important for students as many times, students feel that they are not listened to, however, the staff in the student support team as always there for you when you need it, making sure you are aware the door is wide open for you. Even through the campus is small, you have everything that you need as it is only a short walk away. Take aways & shopping centres are just at the door steps of students with the city shopping centre a 15 minute walk away with fantastic brads to shop from which offer student discounts from 10 - 25% off big brands. The location of the university has been placed in a place where students do not have to walk too far from the university, they can even grab the bus which takes them to the heart of town. The bus station & train station are only a 15 walk or a 5 minute bus journey away. Student life is always upbeat with fantastic places to eat & dine, with restaurants in the city centre. Most food places are halal so this is fantastic for a mostly Muslim populated area. I would say what was disappointing what the graduation parties. Often times one would expect there to be a large party, however, they are kept rather small due to the budget the university is on. The after part takes place in a small room where they serve cupcakes & wine, but not much else unfortunately which I would love to see improved in the future. I feel that if the budget for the university was more, then the university would have larger & more exciting to be a part of. Finally, I would say that student services often take a bit of time getting back to students due to how busy they are, so I would love to see some improvement with the speed of their services. In terms of food options (10/10), I would love to see some healthier food options for students as a balanced diet is essential for students to study & perform well in exams. I would highly recommend this university to anyone wanting to study forensic science. This is the best place to be where you can be yourself & ask questions without being judged for it.

The forensic medical science courses offers two options, 3 years or 4 years (1 year being placement). It is rare for this to be an option, so this is the best thing that a forensic course can offer. Teachers are well experienced in their field & are able to answer any questions you have. The program is heavily hands on as practical work is the best method of studying, remembering & understanding topics. This includes active recall which help us perform better in exams as we often recall what we did from our hands on work. The anatomy labs are hands on as we have a virtual anatomy lab which helps again with active recall & learning the parts of the human body. With mock crime scenes & essays based on real life criminal cases or even mock cases, we are given a real sense of the real world cases that we are give. The paper work that we have to do at the scene is extensive, & as much as we all hate paper work, this is the most important as they are presented in court. We write expert witness statements which are assessed in mock court cases that we are given. We are also given team based learning with random classmates to prepare us to work with strangers & break through comfort zones bit by bit. Sometimes, we do not know who we will be working with in our careers, so this preparation will prep us for the real world. I am sure by the end of this course, I will come out well-prepared to tackle any case that I have & make an impact on the public. I do wish that the paper work was lesser. Furthermore, I do love the idea of the virtual labs, however, I would love if we had actual cadavers to prepare us for real bodies. We would become too used to seeing the human body perfectly, & this is not the case. Every human body internally & externally does not look the same, therefore, we would be more prepared if we were given real bodies to study off of. This would help us identify organs better & make is more comfortable when we are presented with a real body. It will not come as a shock to us when we come to one in real life.
