What jobs can you get after studying forensic science with biology?
My boyfriend is starting to study forensic science with biology, and i am curious what sort of jobs / position you could get after an undergraduate degree. or would you have to continue studying after?
Answer
It depends on what grade he gets and what area he wants to work in. you can take the degree further and train to be a forensic scientist, or go into some sort of clinical science (also more training) with the nhs.
police is another option, or crime scene investigator.. or if he gets a nice
grade he can apply to any of the graduate training schemes that are advertised e
year - includes nhs, government, customs and excise, accountancy for the big firms such as pincents or kpmg, mars, cadburys...the list is huge.
there is
also the route of teaching. if he wants to do teach secondary school he can go straight into a pgce or alternatively he can do a masters and a phd and become a university lecturer.
if he gets a 2:2 or less he may well end up going via the route of temping or working for a small lab to gain experience.
