Graduates work in a number of areas, depending on their degree subject. Each degree equips students with a particular skillset that may be applied to one or more industries.
For example, graduates from the Biological, Biomedical & Biomolecular Sciences and Chemistry Streams often work in the Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, Medical Devices and Chemical Industry in different roles.
Students must select a total of 12 modules (60 credits) in Stage 1 with a minimum of 11 modules taken from core and option modules. Core, programme core and option modules are to be taken as directed. An elective module can be taken in the Spring trimester or alternatively, students can register for an additional module from the Science programme.
