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.

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

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.
