What if after doing a BSc Pharmacology course you do not want to be a scientist or use your Pharmacology knowledge?

Well you have a scientific degree and some 40% of jobs for graduates do not specify the nature of the degree subject, let alone a scientific subject.

During your course you will have developed many transferable skills, such as problem solving, analytical skills, communicating, team working, information technology and numeracy.

You are ideally placed to enter careers such as management, accountancy, the civil service and finance.


Current undergraduate students are encouraged to make use of their University careers service. In addition the following web sites will give useful information:
