Noor Al-Adnani

I studied psychology for my A-levels and university degree, which included forensic and laboratory modules that focused on how evidence is gathered through biological and chemical means. My psychology degree will be advantageous in the job as psychology focuses on the individual and analyses their behaviour and personality. Moreover, I have gained a Masters in Forensic Medical Sciences, which would be very useful for the job as I have gained knowledge in forensic backgrounds and how everything functions and is tested. During my spare time, I taken extra online forensic science courses and multiple Psychology courses to understand the subject better and increase my knowledge of how it is used in real-life settings. I have previously volunteered for a year at the mortuary in St Thomas' Hospital. It entailed participating in several routine adults and paediatric post-mortem examinations and paediatric forensic post-mortems to understand better how biology and chemistry are used when acquiring evidence for cases, how injuries are interpreted, and how a cause of death is determined. Moreover, this experience has allowed me to become accustomed to a mortuary environment and the people who work there.
