Through the combination of science and business, you will equip yourself for an exciting career at the cutting edge of scientific innovation within a range of public, private and non-profit industries. Your business degree will give you a broad base of commercial knowledge as well as the opportunity to major in a specific business area. This understanding of business makes you more attractive to employers, even if you wish to work predominantly in a science-based career.

Graduates have gone on to work in a diverse range of interesting careers. With a double degree in business and science you could gain employment as a consultant, marketer or project manager within firms developing and taking scientific research to the marketplace. You will also develop the entrepreneurial skills necessary to sell your abilities to a range of employers including government agencies, private enterprise and not-for-profit organisations.
