work experience

[electricblue]

Is there any area that a 15 year old who wants to work in forensics/csi can do work experience in this field,thanx?

You need to locate your forensic science service who may be prepared to allow some work shadowing )within reason). Probably not in Manchester though as I believe they had a problem a few years ago when a young girl saw some unpleasant things (not to be unexpected in the field of work) and needed counselling!!

try contacting local colleges and universities that run courses in forensic science - the subject is quite popular now. They may have contacts that you can use for work experience.

Try other course routes, for example criminology or genetics. These can lead to forensic science. forensic science can also be done as a post graduate course after another related degree.

don't think that forensics in the UK is anything like CSI though 'cause it isn't.

You cannot really do work experience in this field, because of your age... Seeing dead bodies and crime scenes isn't the kinda thing the education system are into!
But you can go to the police force or a solicitors, this could be useful.
Good Luck!
