Some of the biggest employers of our students are pharmaceutical companies (such as glaxosmithkline), where chemists develop new medicines, and consumer goods companies (such as unilever and reckitt benckiser), which make many of the products you see on supermarket shelves. graduates can also go behind the scenes, creating the chemicals and materials that make industrial manufacturing possible. the science industry doesn’t only employ scientists though - big companies like unilever and astrazeneca need graduates who understand science to work in communications, market research and business development roles.
