Welcome to Forensic Science at Kent, part of the Division of Natural Sciences.

Forensic Science at Kent is ranked 1st in the UK in The Guardian University Guide 2024. We create simulated crime scenes and conduct major incident exercises where you react in real time to an unfolding event. You can even prepare a case for court and present it at a simulated trial in a realistic court environment. You’ll see how forensic skills can also be applied within archaeology and in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
