Entry requirements

Careers opportunities

Laboratory research is only one of the routes out of a science degree and it is the one with the fewest posts. The larger destinations are industry, analysis, regulation and teaching, and a placement year is the single strongest thing on a science graduate's application.

Roles graduates go into

  • Research or laboratory scientist
  • Analytical or quality scientist
  • Technical or scientific officer
  • Data or research analyst
  • Regulatory affairs officer
  • Science teacher, with a teaching qualification

Where they work

  • Pharmaceutical, chemical and manufacturing companies
  • Contract testing and analytical laboratories
  • University and institute research groups
  • Government agencies and regulators
  • Environmental and public health bodies
After the course

A research post normally needs a doctorate, and a master's with a substantial project is the usual route into one. Chartered scientist status is the alternative for those staying in industry.
