Chemistry, University of Kent

Some aspects of this course i have thoroughly enjoyed, in particular the law, ballistic and fires modules. However some of the chemistry aspects have been at times... painful. It is clear that the chemistry lecturers who teach these to both the chemists and forensics students at the same time in the same room do not care or cater for the forensics students... and honestly most of the forensics students are often left wondering why any of that particular content is relevant or being taught. The feedback on a lot of work has been dismal, the marking and return of marks; as I write this i am 1 exam from finishing my degree yet still am missing coursework marks that were submitted months ago... a joke. Half the lecturers have a genuine interest and investment in seeing you do as best as possible... the other half.....

Can be interesting depending on your chosen subject area. Very basic

So far it is a good course

It would have been better for me to study a broader degree such as Chemistry, as Forensic Science will only allow me to go into analytical science and not developmental.

There are pros and cons for every lecturer, some seem very interested in their field enjoy teaching you said field, others not so much. Every student is provided with a personal tutor who you are supposed to meet once a term, I am yet to have met mine in my first year but I also haven't wanted to meet mine they are always available to meet if need be and are very receptive to emails and easily contacted, the same can be said with all lecturers.

nothing special in my story

Have enjoyed my learning experience throughout almost all the subject taught

Pretty decent like really quite decent experience not too bad not too great

Needs to have optional modules

I love my course, teaching is amazing and always willing to help

Very interesting course. Lecturers very friendly

Decent lab sessions and lab facilities. Troubles arise with the marking of lab reports and returning work

Lecturers always do the best they can to help

Pretty good can't complain tbh

Good good good good good

I appreciate what I have learnt at this institution and generally the efforts that were made to impart knowledge on classmates and myself.

Very chemistry heavy, actual Forensics bits very interesting if you can balance the chemistry pile up

Total study business makes us learn every business stiuation.
