Chemistry / Medicinal Chemistry

As PoisonDonna said, any graduate job is open to you, most of which do not involve chemistry and are too numerous to list here. As an example, apparently many graduates study law and become soliciters for technical cases such as those involving patent law.

Within the subject there are, broadly speaking, two major routes into research: academia (working within a university department) or industry (working in a company such as GSK or AstraZeneca). They're quite different, as far as I know.

Attend a few open days at any chemistry department and they'll almost certainly provide you with much more information.

My intention is to work in an industry. However i was wandering dont they require preliminary work experience in order to get a job. Or would they consider you with a 1st class pure chemistry degree. That is what my concern is. Thanks.
