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.
