    Hi,

    Just wondering if any previous students can give me advice about the types of jobs available from the different degree outlets; Biochemistry, Physiology, Microbiology, Biotechnology and Neuroscience.

    I'm Mostly interested in Biochemistry, Physiology, Microbiology so that is what I'm looking for information on. I have to decide in August, but I don't even know what types of jobs are available from doing these degrees. I'm not interested in going straight into studying for a masters.

    Any information would be great, Thank you!

    I think you should reconsider studying for a further qualification after the degree whichever option you decide on. There are going to be people with more than just a primary degree going for many of the better jobs available. I am friends with two people who got well paid work after physiology degrees but both invested in doing an extra year to get a thought MSc. Biochemistry might lead on to chemical engineering which seems to be well paid and microbiology might lead onto quality control in some multinationals or in hospital laboratories. It would help if you have any contacts who could point you in the right direction to get a start somewhere or even find some work experience in an area you could see yourself working in long term.
