When choosing your science degree you’ll need to decide whether you want to study a broad subject, such as biology, chemistry or physics, or a more specialist subject. Courses in science teach you how to look for answers.
A chemistry or chemistry-related degree can lead to a graduate career in industries such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals and healthcare. Specific job roles include analytical scientist, chemist, medical scientist, forensic scientist, pharmacologist and toxicologist.
A biology or biology-related degree can lead to a graduate career in areas such as agriculture, biomedicine, environmental conservation, food and drink, genetics, horticulture and marine biology. Specific job roles include biologist, microbiologist, marine biologist, biochemist, biotechnologist, geneticist and zoologist.
A physics or physics-related degree can lead to a graduate career in several career sectors, including aerospace and defence, automotive, computing, healthcare and telecommunications. Specific job roles include physicist, geophysicist, nanotechnologist, astrophysicist, medical physicist and meteorologist.

If you want to understand how things work, then a degree in science is for you. Whether you want to cure diseases, explore new frontiers in space, create new medicines, or solve the problem of climate change, a science degree will help you to do it.
Science covers a broad range of subjects. Just a few examples include:
Studies in biomedical engineering, combining design skills with biological science to create new life-changing medical equipment and drugs
Marine science, performing research into coastal management and marine conservation.
Biotechnology, one of the fastest growing industries in the world. You will use cutting-edge research to apply genetic behavior to the world’s problems – curing diseases, solving world hunger and even helping the environment.
