What jobs do I qualify for once I have obtained my biology degree?

Normally to get into a bio related field, you would typically be looking at postgrad with a PhD ideally.

There might be entry level science jobs that just asks for a bachelor's in biology, but they are rare. You will need to really shop around for these.

I would consider completing a MSc in a bio related subject to be the minimum should you decide to go into a bio related field.

If you don't want to pursue biology, you can typically do any of the following:

•

Teach (typically biology, but you can do any subject so long you are competent in it)

•

Pick a job that requires a degree of any sort e.g. civil service, business, charities, etc.

•

Pick a job that requires no qualifications e.g. civil service, business, charities, etc.

•

Pick a job that requires professional qualifications but companies would put you through a traineeship of some sort e.g. finance, accounting, law, etc.

With your A Levels alone, you would qualify for 600+ different careers. I would not snot list them all out in detail on here, since it would take all day.

If you can be a lot more specific about the sort of jobs you would be looking for, I might be able to narrow things down for you.
