It depends what it is in Forensics that you want to do.

(This information is for English Forensic companies.

To become a Forensic Examiner (aka. Assistant Forensic Scientist [£12,900 - £17,000]), most companies require you to have at least:

* 4 GCSE's including Maths and a Science (preferably Biology or Chemistry...depending on which area of Forensics you want to go into.) * At least 1 A-Level in a Scientific subject (again, preferably Biology or Chemistry.) * Laboratory experience is desirable but not always necessary.

To become a full Forensic Scientist (£19,000 - £30,000 [Potential promotion to Lead Scientist approx £50,000])most companies require at least:

* All of the above. * A good honours degree (at least 2:2) in a Scientific (including Forensic Science) or Mathmatic subject. * Laboratory experience is highly desirable (it will be very difficult to get a secure job with no experience).

Personal qualities that are desirable include:

* Have excellent scientific abilities. * Be a good communicator, both verbally and in writing * Be able to explain complex scientific information in an understandable way.

* Be skilled in using statistics to interpret evidence * Be logical, methodical and attentive to detail * Be practical * Be able to produce detailed, accurate reports * Be able to work independently and as part of a team.

* Have an enquiring mind * Be self-confident

* Be committed to updating knowledge and learning new techniques.

Hope that helps.
