Hi,
what are the job prospects for a natural sciences course e.g. camrbidge exeter bath.
Looking to apply but worried about after uni compared to engineering jobs

`First year i would be quite broad and then probably specialise towards more physics and maybe biophsysics or chemical physics
at cambridge it is really flexible but not sure about others

In general (outside of medicine) my guess is that graduates of notably numerate degrees do better than others on average - its a hard skill to pick up outside of formal education and has lots of applications.
This might be worth reading: https://www.economist.com/britain/20...duate-salaries
Some caution required as it focuses on salaries 5 year after graduation - which is still very early in a career. In particular students on good science courses who go on to do phds will tend to have pretty low salaries at that point so sciences may seem less well paid than real life experience.

The job prospects for a NatSci student are huge. Being that it is an interdisciplinary degree (and, at universities like Bath, is essentially a joint honours of 2 sciences) you will have a lot of doors open to you. A lot of students pursue either a postgraduate degree or a job related to their sciences. Other graduates go into business, finance, marketing etc. as the skills required for these careers are gained from a NatSci degree. You can find more detailed info about our graduate prospects here.
With regards to engineering jobs, it really depends on what you specifically want to do and what modules you chose within NatSci. NatSci degrees vary a fair amount at different universities. At Bath, there wouldn't be any traditional engineering (i.e. mechanical or electrical engineering) within the modules. However, there are modules related to other forms of engineering (chemical, genetic etc.) within the other modules, such as chemistry, biochemistry, physics and biology. You can find more detailed info on our NatSci modules here. If you are wanting to pursue a career in traditional engineering, then a degree like MechEng may be more suitable for you. If you are looking at other forms of engineering, then NatSci would be a brilliant degree as you gain a wide range of knowledge and skills to an amazing depth.
I hope this has helped, and please let me know if you have more questions,
Jessica, a third year Natural Sciences student
