  Career opportunities
  The biotechnology industry plays an essential role in many aspects of the science that affects our everyday lives. Biotechnology graduates from the Faculty of Life Sciences may choose to become a microbiologist in the food industry, a geneticist in the field of medical research, or one of many other possibilities. They are not limited to the biotechnology industries however, and may go into a variety of careers. About half stay in the life sciences and related disciplines, choosing either to study on further research or taught courses such as a Masters or PhD, which could lead onto a career biotechnology, other biological disciplines, or medicine/dentistry degrees. A significant number go on to complete a science teaching qualification, such as a secondary science PGCE. Those that choose a career outside of the life sciences are highly sought after by large multinationals. Graduate programmes in accountancy, finance, law, marketing and publishing are particularly popular choices for graduates from the Faculty who do not wish to stay in science.
