Careers Physiological Sciences careers
There is a great demand for graduates in the biomedical and biomolecular sciences within the health services and industry, particularly leading or working as part of research teams, and many of our students choose this career path.
Industries employing bioscientists for research and development include:
- pharmaceuticals
- biotechnology
- chemical
- cosmetics and toiletries
- food and drink
In addition, with a biosciences-related degree you could undertake medical, veterinary and agricultural research in universities and research institutes. Hospital and public health laboratories also employ a large number of bioscientists.
A large proportion of our graduates choose to take a further degree (either an MSc or PhD qualification) before embarking on permanent employment. This is a step in a career path which can lead to senior, decision-making roles. Each year some students use our degrees as a route for graduate entry into medicine.
Apart from laboratory work, there are many other ways to use your degree. Some of our graduates choose to enter the legal side of the subject, using their scientific knowledge to advise on patenting, and others opt for careers such as scientific journalism.
Our graduates also embark on careers unrelated to the biomedical sciences, for example in management, accountancy and IT. Whichever career you choose, you can be sure that you will receive our advice and whole-hearted support.
