05 Afterwards

Where this leads

Graduates typically move into laboratory and research roles, quality and regulatory positions, and progression into doctoral study. Graduates also progress directly into master's level study, in the same country or elsewhere in Europe.

Career outcomes depend on individual performance, work rights in the country of study, and labour market conditions at the time of graduation. We help students plan realistically rather than assume a specific outcome.
