Career opportunities
Graduates from modern language courses are extremely desirable to employers who require significant relevant work experience. In the growing field of international bioscience research collaborations, graduates with a good command of a foreign language are at a distinct advantage.
Our graduates go into a wide range of sectors. Around a third choose to work in scientific research and development, which may require significant postgraduate study, usually a PhD. Subsequently they secure jobs as researchers working in universities and pharmaceutical and bioscience companies and institutes.
Around two-thirds of graduates choose other career options such as teaching or communicating science, as well as careers unrelated to biological sciences including management, finance, marketing and the civil service.
Find out more about how we help our students prepare for the workplace and the careers our graduates go into within and outside the lab.
Accrediting organisations
This course has Advanced Accreditation from the Royal Society of Biology.
Advanced Accreditation recognises academic excellence in the biosciences, highlighting degrees that contain a significant research element and educate the future leaders of research and development.
The criteria require evidence that graduates meet defined sets of learning outcomes, including gaining substantial research experience.
In recognition of this, a graduate of an advanced accredited course can apply for membership of the Royal Society of Biology at Member (MRSB) level after just two years of practice, rather than the usual three.
These graduates can attain the qualifications of Chartered Biologist or Chartered Scientist one year sooner than graduates from other courses.
