Where Can Studying Biology Take You

For a start, it can take you in the future.Biology is a fast-moving field and as many discoveries are being made, new areas of research are opening up. Areas of study exist today that didn’t exist a few years ago and biology has many disciplines. The term biosciences is commonly used to encompass them all. Advances in biology are deepening our understanding of life and several cutting-edge issues of this century (for example vaccination, GM, SARS) have a strong biological theme- as a quick glance at the media shows.

Science can be fun!

Although I’m still in my thirties I’m still seen as being from the ‘old school of science’ where everyone got their hands dirty in the labs, experimenting, and exploding where necessary, to try to understand the real principles behind the science being covered. These days science is extra-safe, and quite rightly too, but it needn’t be boring.

Why Science?

I want to be a scientist - How do I become one - science careers

Graduates on the wide range of science courses that are now available have particular strengths with which they can market themselves. In addition to learning the underpinning scientific theory, scientists develop well-honed analytical and numerical skills which complement their computer competency. These skills are highly sought after for financial, commercial and management graduate trainee positions. Most science degrees also enable students to build on the team-working and communication skills valued both by blue chip employers, small and medium-sized enterprises and increasingly post-graduate course entry tutors.
