Skills and careers

Our Biochemistry course aims to produce highly motivated
graduates who are suitably prepared for employment in bioscience
jobs (e.g. biotech companies, research laboratories), and well
equipped to study for a higher degree; many of our graduates
go on to complete master’s or PhDs. At the same time, you
will develop and use a range of key skills that are suitable for
employment outside these directly related subjects. For example,
Biochemistry graduates often go into areas, such as accountancy,
where numeracy and an objective scientific approach to problem
solving are valued. Placements provide not only practical skills
training, but also valuable employability skills, opportunities for
personal development and enhancement of graduate attributes.
The experience you will gain will prove particularly beneficial in your
final year and in the early stages of your career.
