Graduates with skills in business and innovation are extremely desirable to employers who require significant relevant work experience.
In the growing field of bioscience research collaborations, graduates with entrepreneurship skills are at a distinct advantage.
Our graduates go into a wide range of sectors. Many secure jobs as researchers and business leaders in academia and industry, while others go into lab-based careers that do not involve research.
Others choose careers in the healthcare sector such as physiotherapy and medicine, most of which require further study, while some take up positions in other sectors entirely, eg education.
Find out more about how we help our students prepare for the workplace and the careers our graduates go into within and outside the lab.
