Careers

Many graduates will continue to postgraduate Masters or PhD studies, or use their degree as a route into medicine, dentistry or veterinary medicine. Stimulating careers await new graduates, or those with a postgraduate degree, in research in universities and research institutes; in industry, especially pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies; and in clinical research and diagnostic work in hospital laboratories. Our degree can also lead to a career in other fields of science, such as infection biology, and cancer or cardiovascular research. There are also many exciting opportunities in other areas, including teaching, scientific journalism, business, and the civil service, and our Alumni Society, with over 300 members, allows students to seek advice and guidance from Immunology graduates pursuing a diverse array of careers. The Immunology programme is offered by the University of Glasgow.
