Jenny BirchI chose to study MSc Biodiversity Conservation as I wanted to gain a better theoretical knowledge of conservation through studying for a Masters degree.

Claudia AguaciaI decided to apply to BU because I found the University had the most complete programme in forensic archaeology. Studying here gave me not just a good scientific foundation, but also the skills to practice the procedures, methodologies and analysis involved in fieldwork.

Steven DavisAfter completing my Undergraduate Forensic Science degree at Bournemouth University (BU), I wanted to study a more specialist area of forensics whilst gaining valuable lab experience. The Forensic Toxicology by Research Masters at BU allowed me to do this whilst completing relevant and up-to-date research.

Michelle FeiderI chose MSc Osteoarchaeology as I wanted to study something completely different to my undergraduate degree. Staff responded helpfully to my enquiries and, since the study of human and animal remains in archaeology draws upon a wide range of subject backgrounds, I felt encouraged and confident in applying.

Joanna RamsayI wanted to pursue a career in the environment sector with a specific focus on the coast and the course at BU had the best reputation. It was the right combination of academic study and practical experience.
