Career opportunities

Biology is a very broad field and biologists are therefore suited for jobs at different areas. That can be in the direction of your own unique specialization, but perhaps also on another biological or non-biological function. As a graduated biologist, you can work in research, as an advisor or specialist, in management or policy, etc.
