Welcome to the Medway Forensic Society! We are a passionate group of students dedicated to exploring the intriguing world of forensic science.
Our mission is to encourage and promote our deep appreciation for forensic science and its role in the legal system while providing members with opportunities to expand their knowledge and skills in this field. We aim to promote academic excellence, critical thinking, and teamwork through a variety of engaging activities and events.
This year, we implemented a Buddy Scheme within the society. As an overview: The Buddy Scheme helps year 0 & 1 students settle in and have the chance to ask year 2 & 3 students any questions they may have, & for years 2 & 3 to share their knowledge.
The buddy scheme is a good volunteering experience that helps build skills in communication, teaching and learning. Additionally, it does not have to be just about work! It's a chance for different year groups to interact with each other and make our course a little less divided!
As a society, we were present in the welcome week society fair, on September 20th 2023 to scope out members and introduce students to out society, giving them a taster session with fingerprint retrieval and a competition.
Students got the chance to develop their own fingerprints from glass bottles using a pink fluorescent powder & development tools.
The competition organised involved guessing how many bone gummies were inside of a skeleton jar. The closest guess won an Amazon Giftcard.
On Wednesday 4th of October 2023, 4pm at the Hub, the society had the first icebreaker session to help members get to know each other outside of the lecture halls, play some games & solve cold case files.
Had a lot of fun watching a member-chosen horror movie, 'The Conjuring', on Wednesday October 18th, 2023.
On Wednesday, 11th November 2023, there was a forensic themed trivia, quizzes and games afternoon.
As a Term 1 is approaching its end and Christmas is around the corner, on December 12th, 2023, there was a fun (and slightly competitive) gathering to make the best gingerbread house possible.
Advent calendar with forensic facts to celebrate the 12 days before Christmas, available in our Instagram page.
To start up the second semester on the right foot, we took the afternoon on January 23rd to uncover the cold case of the murder of a young lady and play some games (chess/jenga/etc.).
We had the great pleasure of collaborating with the volleyball society on February 9th, 2024, in a fun social volley event, at UTC Waterfront.
Whether you're a seasoned forensic enthusiast or just curious about this fascinating field, we invite you to join us! Membership is open to all students on Medway campus.
