Analytical Biotechnology MSc/ PgDip

Career Opportunities

Cranfield graduates are very successful in achieving relevant work. Some 93% are in relevant employment or further study six months after graduation.

Our Analytical Biotechnology qualification opens doors to those who wish to pursue or enhance a career within the field of Analytical Biotechnology within areas as diverse as:

pharmaceuticals
post-genome analysis
healthcare sector.

Aside from the current lack of sufficiently trained scientists/ technologists, rapid expansion in areas such as medical diagnostics, the human genome project and homeland security and defence have led to an increasing demand for skilled analytical technologists. The Analytical Biotechnology MSc has been developed in response to identified skills shortages within the field and will therefore not only provide students with adequate training to successfully enter employment but will provide opportunities to enter employment at a more senior level. Possible positions Analytical Biotechnology MSc graduates may move into include:

Laboratory analyst
Analytical manager
R&D analytical developer

In addition to Cranfield’s excellent links with industry the university is located within a very close proximity to leading pharmaceutical players – this opens up opportunities for a number of industry placements and allows students to make contact with potential employers before even completing their degree.

Our Careers Service can help you find the job you want after leaving Cranfield. We will work with you to identify suitable opportunities and support you in the job application process for up to three years after graduation.

Finally, thousands of graduates continue the ‘Cranfield experience’ after they leave by keeping in touch with colleagues and friends through free membership of our organisation Cranfield Connect – the Alumni Alliance.
