      Not a forensic scientist but you can’t go wrong with as much science and maths as possible. I imagine there are forensics courses at university, but I don’t know if that’s the usual path into the field. Search it online and if you’re really serious, you could ask your local police department about it!

      There are lots of different types of forensic scientist: criminologists, biologist, psychologists… but in terms of GCSEs: science, maths, maybe subjects like psychology or sociology if your school offers them?
