Forensic Science MSc
www.kent.ac.uk/pg/5
Location: Canterbury
This course is for graduates with
a strong grounding in forensic
science who wish to advance
their knowledge of the field.
The programme prepares you
for a professional role in forensic
science within the criminal or civil
judicial system, police or forensic
practice, or research. You
develop command, control and
management skills in relation
to incidents and develop an
understanding of analytical
laboratory methods. Your
integrated and critical
understanding of forensic science
is also a good preparation for a
PhD in any associated discipline.

Physics (EuroMasters) MSc
www.kent.ac.uk/pg/16
Two-year programme, 120 ECTS
credit equivalent
Location: Canterbury
The School offers a two-year
Master’s degree in Physics in
partnership with the South East
Physics Network (SEPnet) which
includes Kent and nine other
universities in the south and
east of England. The programme
involves both a taught
and research component.
In the first year, you follow a
taught Master’s programme,
which includes specialised
research, and in the second
year you undertake an advanced
guided research project. There
is also the option to move to a
SEPnet partner university or
research institution. This may
include CERN, Switzerland,
the UK’s Rutherford Appleton
Laboratory, Diamond Light
Source or the National Physical
Laboratory (NPL).
The MSc in Physics (EuroMasters)
is compatible with the European
Credit Transfer Accumulation
System (ECTS) across the
European Union and other
collaborating European countries.
It is suitable for students who wish
to pursue a high-quality career
in physics or quantitive scientific
research.

STAFF PROFILE
Adrian Podoleanu
Professor of Biomedical Optics;
Head of the Applied Optics
Group
Professor Podoleanu began his
career teaching at the Technical
University Bucharest, Romania,
where he taught physics, optics
and optoelectronics, and
developed research on lasers
and fast optoelectronics.
His research interests at Kent
focus on optical coherence
tomography (OCT), imaging
the eye, distance measurements
using low coherence
interferometry, subnanosecond
dwell time multichannel digital
correlation, and sensing and
secure optical communications.
He contributed towards
development of the en-face
OCT imaging as a novel
technology and is involved in
teaching of non-invasive optical
imaging methods with emphasis
on OCT, electromagnetism and
optics and medical physics.
