Career Aspects


Typical jobs with biological degrees

  • Biology Career in research

Scientific research is not only of great importance to society but is also a very inspiring career in biology degrees. As a research biologist, you will aim to improve your knowledge of the world around us by studying living things. Research activities offer perhaps the most comprehensive scope of all activities with a biology degree, as research can be done in all skills.

The most common is research within the medical and health sciences, which includes areas such as health and pathology, neurology, genomics, microbiology, and pharmacology. Researchers help develop community knowledge in many areas and, with additional appropriate qualifications, can be obtained from tertiary institutions, research institutes, medical and hospital institutions, as well as business and industry.


  • Biology Career in health

Working in health care as a biologist will see you develop campaigns to help treat and treat diseases such as AIDS, cancer, tuberculosis, heart disease, and many lesser-known diseases and diseases. Although many roles are not accessible to undergraduate graduates (such as the medical and professional professions), the field has great potential for recruitment, and biologists are well sought after in the medical world.

Health scientists have the necessary qualifications and experience and work as veterinarians, veterinarians, nurses, dentists, and other health professionals. Biologists are employed not only in hospitals and other medical institutions; they are also employed by organizations such as the Peace Corps to provide improved health care in developing and war-torn areas.


  • Biology Career in Conservation

As a natural biologist, you will be interested in solving environmental problems and helping to protect natural and plant resources and wildlife to preserve and preserve for future generations. Jobs with biological qualifications that fall under this category include marine and/or marine biologist, animal biologist, conservation biologist, biologist, and environmental manager. Biologists in these areas have developed programs to rescue endangered species and to provide education for the general public. Hiring industries include charities and non-profit organizations, government and the public sector, and social media.


  • Biology Career in Education

With a biology degree and a teaching degree, you will be equipped to work within education. You will enjoy working with young people and encourage them to learn about the world, be it in the classroom, the stadium, the laboratory, or the museum. To get to the top of the education world, more qualifications will be required; for example, a university teacher will be required to obtain a master's or Ph.D. degree, while a primary or secondary school teacher will generally require only undergraduate and teacher training qualifications. If you choose to continue your studies and continue working within higher education, you can produce your own research, publish your work, and/or serve as an advisory board member in your field.
