Applied Bioinformatics MSc - full and part-time
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 Applied Bioinformatics qualification opens doors to careers in industry, public research establishments and university research. The multidisciplinary nature of our course has allowed our students to follow diverse career paths in various medical-related sectors including:
• Pharmaceutical and Biotech companies
• Public Institutions, and
• Bioinformatics and IT companies.
Although job opportunities for Applied Bioinformatics graduates have traditionally been focused in the US and UK, there is also rapid growth in mainland Europe, India and the Far East. Previous students have gone on to work for companies such as GlaxoSmithKline, Celltech, the European Bioinformatics Institute and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Pubgene, Tessella and Inpharmatica. Others have chosen to continue their research training by undertaking a PhD either at Cranfield or elsewhere.
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 Cranfield Alumni.
