Overview
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.
