      It would depend on what university you wanted to go to, but generally you will need chemistry and biology A-Levels.

      I think it would depend on the type of course and the University, as Samantha says. You can find that out from the University brochures called prospectuses, which will be available on each University’s website.

      See what Samantha and Angharad have said. As well as A levels, you would need to go to university. The most common entry is by getting a university degree in chemistry, biochemistry, biology or pharmacology. Be careful about doing a degree in “forensic science”, because not all of these provide all the skills and knowledge to work as a forensic scientist.
