All organisations, from private business to local government, increasingly need to engage with environmental issues. Alongside Environmental Science, the Medicinal Chemistry element provides excellent employment prospects, whether at the cutting edge of drug discovery or in a wide range of related fields, with options such as working for a pharmaceutical company, either as a research scientist or in a more business related role. Alternatively, you might work in an organisation as a development chemist, a research assistant, or a site chemist.
