After your degree
New statistic: 96% of our 2012 graduates were in work or further study six months after graduation
What job will I get?Our graduates go on to do all sorts of things after they have completed their courses. Our alumni include a bird keeper for an international wildlife charity, the head of a secondary school biology department, a university professor and a wildlife centre manager. Others work for museums, hospitals, government agencies and companies in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries, in areas including ecology, conservation, recycling and research. And because our degrees give you skills that are useful in lots of different jobs, many students also pursue careers in journalism, law, accountancy and as professional technicians. |
Supporting you all the wayCareers support is available throughout your course, with general advice on CV writing, applications, interviews, psychometric tests and careers skills available. There are also workshops, leaflets, tips and talks tailored to APS students to help you get a job, events where you can meet prospective employers, and opportunities for you to get work experience or a part-time job while you study. |
Continuing your studiesCutting edge research is at the heart of everything we do in APS, and many of our students choose to stay with us to become full time research students. |
