I am a young man from Ghana with a degree in Biology, but Forensic Science(Forensic Genetics) is my dream course.
My handicap however, is how to fund such an education in preferably the UK.
Any suggestions on sponsorship?
I can do part time and work alongside.Thanks

Cool idea! I cannot help, but you should find some forensics departments and write to them directly.
Eg.
Forensic Science Service - Home Page (http://www.forensic.gov.uk/html/)
Forensic Science Society | home (http://www.forensic-science-society.org.uk/)
Maybe the forensic science society would help you get to one of their meetings?
You could meet people there.. .
Young Forensic Scientist Sminars (YFSS) and Student Conferences
The FSSoc also convene YFSS conferences, which are specifically designed to target forensic scientists who are new to the profession and encourage them to enagage with each other and with the FSSoc. These conferences tend to be subject specific (i.e. Maggots, Mandibles and Murder : Sept 2008). The photographs below show attendees taking part in practical workshops at two YFSS conferences .
They offer a scholarship, too.

Good luck!
