Our flagship event for biosciences students was on Saturday 27th October at Manchester Metropolitan University

Building on the success of previous careers events, Bioscience Careers Day welcomed 300 students from across the UK. The event was coordinated by the Royal Society of Biology's Careers Committee.

What happened at the careers day?

• Talks from experts in the field about the variety of careers available to bioscience graduates
• Mock interviews to sharpen your technique for future employers
• Speed networking with the expert speakers
• An exhibition with representatives from learned societies and top organisations
• Networking with bioscience professionals and other students from across the UK
