What kinds of jobs are available for undergraduate biology students after graduation?

Hellooo





I will be getting my B.S in biomedical sciences in a year and I was wondering are there any jobs available for undergraduate biology students without any job experience. If i do later decide to go into medical college which medical colleges are easiest to get into?


Thanks Everyone

What kinds of jobs are available for undergraduate biology students after graduation?
Hi i graduated with a BSc biomedical sciences in 2004 and have now worked 3.5 years in my local nhs hospital as a registered biomedical scientist in histology. I have just bought my own house so i havent done badly!


I am now currently studying for my specialist diploma in histology.


You can get a trainee job in pathology in a lab once you graduate or other options my graduate friends went into are:


1) doing medicine


2) working in a private lab eg astra zeneca, bupa hospital etc(good pay but competitive)


3) doing a MSc and become a clinical scientist (may be able to do this without a Msc)


4) Do a PhD and become a research scientist


5) Go into clinical sales/medical sales rep


6) go into a graduate job not linked to science





Obviously it depends on what degree class you get and what you want to do. You can always write to a lab for some lab experience to try it out and see if you like the work.





As for medicine, you will need a 2:1 or above for most medicine degrees but some now allow mature students with no degree. Durham uni where i studied at are quite understanding when it comes to accepting people in for medicine and also allow non-graduates professionals in. Its a great uni which i would def recommend! If you have a good degree they normally let you skip a year so you end up doing 4 years not 5. You have to do 2 years at durham (stockton campus) and 2 years at newcastle uni.


Good luck for the future!
Reply:The universal job is lab tech. Various lab tech positions are available to you, this covers thousands of different fields, so you can pick your interest, though of course, whether or not they hire you is .





Government jobs are also a good place to look. I don't know what jurisdiction you're in but the Environment, Agriculture, Natural resources and energy ministries/departments are a place to start. Be sure to check both provincial/state and federal level, the departments will be separate.





Teaching is also always an option; this includes things like conservation areas, zoos, etc.





After you get some experience, you'll also get a better idea of what jobs are available, as well as opening up more opportunities.
Reply:B.S. in biology here. I became a computer game programmer.
Reply:I graduated with a B.S. in Animal Science and Biology and found many jobs available in the bio medical industry, such as pharmaceutical companies, biotech, labs, etc..... Teaching is also an option, if you wanted to teach at the k-12 level. However, if you are planning on going into medical school i would recommend you working in a hospital setting, the pay is not very good but you do need a certain amount of hours in a hospital setting as part of pre-requisits for many medical schools as well as letters of recommendations (i.e. Doctors).





As for the easiest colleges to get into you may want to consider the West Indies/ carribean island schools, i have been told they are easy to get into and dont require you to do much. problem is their are complications with practicing in the US if you graduate from these schools. You may want to look into your local state schools, they tend to have a quota of students from the state who they take, especially the more rural states. Now if your state does not have a medical school their may be contracts with neighboring states to take a certain amount of students from your state.
