Overview
Our Medical Genetics with a Year in Industry students at University of Sheffield have found placements at global pharmaceutical companies, such as GSK, Pfizer and Unilever, but your placement doesn't have to be in the lab.
You could apply your scientific knowledge outside of the bioscience industry, in areas including market research, communications or business development.
Key Features
- A placement is a great opportunity to test out a career path and many students are offered a graduate-level job at the end.
- You'll pay reduced fees for the year you're on placement and you'll still have the support you need from your tutor and the University.
Accreditation
This course is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, which shows employers that you've developed the practical skills and scientific knowledge that they're looking for.
