Biology, Anatomy & Human Sciences Biology, Anatomy & Human Sciences Depending on your particular interests there are a number of roles available to Biology, Anatomy & Human Sciences graduates, although many require further study and specialisation. This is especially so if they differ vastly from core modules you have taken so far. From the 2009 graduates batch, 35 percent decided to pursue further study, either overseas or in the UK. Having a PHD in e.g. biology, can open many doors for your future career. Becoming a research scientist is a popular way to start off a career. You will need to complete a PhD, but this is usually fully funded so you will be earning while studying. As a research scientist you would mainly work in universities and governmental research institutions, with the aim of increasing the body of scientific knowledge by conducting experiments or analysing and interpreting data sets. Work is published in scientific papers or used to develop and improve upon existing medicines. Similarly, if you become a lecturer you will need to complete a PhD and can expect to spend your time teaching and advancing scientific knowledge. Work in conservation is an alternative scientific option, as is work in hospitals as a clinical biologist from where you could specialise. The food industry is also available to you and is a place where you can ensure hygienic processes, or act as a quality controller or even food scientist. Other directions include pharmacology where you would study the way in which medicines interact with biological systems. This type of research is used to assist drug development by focusing on the delivery of safe, effective methods of usage. If you are more concerned with the environment, soil scientists delve into soil to understand its affects on animal health, the environmental quality, climate, local agriculture and general biodiversity. Forensic science could be worth considering too. Away from practical scientific roles, you may want to think about applying for work in scientific writing, finance/accountancy, law, administration or any other ‘technical’ based career. A science degree leaves you with key transferrable skills such as the ability to research topics well, understand and apply complex subject matter and present information in an effective way which are key skills for a range of popular graduate jobs in areas such as business, management and marketing. Retail is also a possible route for Biology, Anatomy & Human Sciences graduates. one in five of biology graduates in 2010 found themselves in a retail role six months after completing their degree. Biology graduates earn slightly less than the national average, taking home between £14,100 (East Midlands) and £21,200 (London). Figures are taken from the 2011 edition of "What Do Graduates Do?".
