Study abroad
Yes

With a master’s degree, your
knowledge and skills will be very
appealing to employers, but
you may also have developed a
particular interest which you’d
like to explore at PhD level. If
you choose to go straight into
employment, you might work
in the chemical, pharmaceutical
or environmental industries as
a research scientist, analytical
chemist or in other roles where
scientific knowledge and related
skills are in demand, such as
scientific instrument sales, patent
law or environmental analysis.
