In the UK, forensic analysts are now mainly employed in independent laboratories. They perform a variety of roles including laboratory technical support, laboratory management, forensic investigations (sampling, chemical analysis and data interpretation) and are expected to present evidence through formal reports or directly in court. Whilst a qualification in Forensic Analysis can allow access to employment opportunities in forensic laboratories, the training required for a forensic analyst is valuable in a wide range of related employment sectors. The MSc Forensic Analysis helps to prepare you for roles such as:

Scene of Crimes Officer
Forensic Scientist
Pharmaceutical scientist
Quality Assurance Officer
Medicinal and scientific researcher

A good honours degree or equivalent in forensic science, chemistry or a related life science/pharmacy discipline.
Applicants with alternative qualifications will also need appropriate experience in analysis.
