When graduating with a scientific degree, finding the right career path isn't always straightforward, especially if your preference is not to work in a laboratory.

Many graduates love the science, but the reality of undertaking many of the roles within this sector might not be so appealing.

If you find yourself in this position, love writing about science and have a clear and articulate communication style, then maybe a career within medical communications is for you.

This unique opportunity allows you to continue writing, whilst also learning other skills such as corporate communications, client engagement, business development and project management.
