Graduates are qualified to take up both scientific and non-scientific careers. These positions encompass areas of innovative research and development of new products, advisory, and consultancy work, particularly in companies or organizations concerned with animal and plant health, environmental management, pharmaceutical products, and biotechnology.

Graduates pursue careers in teaching, nature conservation, and laboratory-based posts in biomedical, industrial, pharmaceutical, academic, and government institutions as well as in universities and colleges of higher education. The remainder undertakes further training in areas such as computing, administration, and management or medicine (human or veterinary), developing their skills from a sound scientific background. Further training also helps them to find employment in a variety of non-biological careers, including public service administration, industrial management, banking, accountancy, and computing.

Employers are looking for graduates with generic skills of communication, problem-solving, data analysis, social skills, a range of interests, and a record of success. We believe that a degree in Zoology will help our students to develop these skills. For further information on careers see the Institute of Biology website. Please note that the same careers are open to both Zoology and Biology graduates.
