Course Overview

Our 'Careers After Biological Sciences' series of lectures features Leicester graduates giving insights into their career experiences and good advice for finding jobs.

In the summer vacation between Years 2 and 3, a range of internal research placements is available in research labs, allowing you to develop your scientific skills.

We run bespoke bioscience careers events in the summer term each year based on what our students tell us about their career intentions.
