What can you do after your Master's degree?

Start a PhD research project

With a master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences, you will have the relevant knowledge and skills to pursue a career in biomedical (laboratory) research.  Therefore you can decide to continue expanding your knowledge and apply for a Ph.D. position.

You could become – among other things – an Immunology Ph.D. candidate,  a Clinical Research Associate or an Analytical Project Manager.

Start working

Having completed the Master's programme in Biomedical Sciences, your career prospects are broad and promising.

The societal specialisations will make you well prepared for a scientific position outside the standard domain of laboratory research, such as a career as a consultant, policy maker, manager, communications officer, scientific researcher or Biology teacher, and more. This could be at a university, research institute, government, industry, non-governmental or international organisation.
