A BSc. Medical Sciences degree is a versatile and skills-rich qualification that will allow you to embark on a wide range of future career paths (not just working in a lab!).  Have a look at some possibilities!

If further study at postgraduate level (MSc. or PhD) or medicine (on an undergraduate or an accelerated graduate entry medicine (GEM) programme) interests you, then get planning!  

Writing and sending off a CV and cover letter may seem a bit old hat in today's on-line jobs market, but it is still the main method used by employers to assess the quality of potential employees and what they can offer.  Keep your CV updated and always tailor your CV and cover letter targeted to each application.  

Do you want to have relevant work experience alongside your studies to boost your skill set and CV? Here you can find upcoming opportunities like internally - advertised placements or internships.  Post-graduate opportunities for 'soon-to-be graduates' will also be posted here.
