Biology
Your Skills
When pursuing a course in biology, students acquire in-depth, subject-specific knowledge of biological systems and concepts. In addition, you develop a range of practical and technical skills from laboratory sessions and learn how to use specialist techniques and technical equipment. A biology course teaches students to confidently handle masses of diverse data and to draw conclusions.
History
Your Skills
Although history is a subject viewed by some as non-vocational, history graduates go into a very wide range of careers. This indicates that employers widely respect history graduates as having a valuable combination of skills.
Chemistry
Your Skills
Studying chemistry allows you to develop a range of both subject-specific and transferable skills valued by employers.
As well as gaining knowledge in traditional fields of chemistry (organic, inorganic, physical and analytical), most chemistry degrees now also include modules in interdisciplinary areas (chemical biology and physics) and some may include modules in applied chemistry (medicinal, environmental). This gives a good balance of scientific knowledge, both specialist and general.
