My name is Susan Richmond. I just recently graduated with a first class degree
studying forensic science and investigative analysis.
The reason I chose Kingston University is probably two reasons.
Firstly, I attended an open day and during that open day
I got a really good impression of the university - everybody was friendly,
everybody was very welcoming, the talks relating to my course
were very interesting, which enabled me to make my final decision.
Secondly, I live close to the University - I have a young family
and it's convenient for me. The idea of travelling long distances
just does not appeal to me, particularly with family life and studies.
I studied forensic science and investigative analysis. The course
covered quite a broad range of topics. The topics kind of ranged from
forensic bio-psychology to fibres, fires and firearms, forensic archaeology.
I suppose these topics combined with the practical skills that we learnt,
such as the crime scene to court scenarios. Having them combined together
gave me a really big insight, or a fantastic insight, into the actual course itself
and into forensic science. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Kingston University.
I believe that the high level of teaching has been one of the major contributions
to me gaining the results that I received. I think that was one of the most
important aspects of the University. I also believe that the University has
got a very vibrant, very feel good feeling towards it - it's got this lovely
comradeship feeling where such a diverse amount of students are in an institution where
they're together, and, yeah, it's got a lovely feeling towards it.
There's really nice facilities - you've got the library which is open 24 hours
during exam times. This to me was really beneficial because, you know, you can
meet your fellow students and revise together. My plan now is I have a place at
UCL to study a masters degree studying forensic archaeological science.
My long term plan is to eventually work for a human rights organisation
and identify victims who have been involved in genocide.
At Kingston University, I would recommend Kingston University because of
all the attributes I've already discussed, I've had an amazing experience here.
I personally believe that it has been a fantastic stepping stone to my
future career and I would recommend it to everyone and anyone really.
