MSc in Forensic Investigation - Batch of 2025
Offered by University of Portsmouth
4.4
The curriculum is well-structured and aligned with industry standards.
Tips: The University of Portsmouth provides strong academic support, modern facilities, and a practical approach to forensic investigation. Internships and job opportunities exist but require proactive searching. The cost of living in Portsmouth is relatively affordable compared to London, but budgeting is important. Part-time jobs are available but competitive, especially in retail and hospitality. Weather can be gloomy so be prepared for frequent rain and could wind. The transition was smooth for me, but I can't say the same for everyone. Managing studies, cooking, and social life was a bit overwhelming at first, but I adapted quickly. The British accent and communication style took some getting used to. People here value punctuality, politeness, and personal space, which is different from home. Independence is key to handling everything alone, from bills to daily tasks, which was a big adjustment. I received the Dean's Scholarship, but it wasn't a significant amount. The university also offers other scholarships, like the Chancellor Global Academic Merit Scholarship, which provides up to 35,000 for eligible students. Overall, I am very much satisfied with the course, university and the country.
Likes (Value for money): The M.Sc. Forensic Investigation programme provides high-quality education, experienced faculty, and access to specialized forensic labs, case studies, and real-world applications. The curriculum is well-structured and aligned with industry standards, making it worth the investment. The university offers good career support, networking events, and mentorship programs like the Hampshire Constabulary programme, which add value beyond just academics. These opportunities can help students gain practical experience and improve employability. The university provides modern infrastructure, research facilities, access to forensic databases, and support services that enhance the learning experience. The overall student experience, including academic guidance and extracurricular activities, makes the tuition fee feel reasonable.
Dislikes (Internships): The university provides some level of support, but it might not be as hands-on as expected. There may be career services, job portals, and occasional workshops on CV writing or interview prep. However, students are often expected to be proactive in searching and applying for internships themselves. There might be some internships related to forensic investigation, but they are not always easy to secure. The opportunities may be more general like retail or admin roles rather than directly linked to crime scene investigation or forensic analysis. Some students might need to apply externally rather than relying solely on university-provided listings.
