    Does anyone know anywhere with access to a forensic setting who are willing to take students for prolonged work experience?

    Really appreciate any help :)

    AFAIK, there is only one forensic lab in the country - in Phoenix park.

    And due to the nature of the work, that samples being processed are actual evidence for crimes committed and will be used as evidence in court - a chain of custody needs to be preserved and the quality of work needs to be stood over and testified to in court. As such, "work experience" in forensic based labs doesn't really exist.

    There's more about the qualifications for a career on their webpage though.
