Most biologists work in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and environmental sectors, where we are seeing major advances in the biological sciences. For instance, they may be employed by:

• Government departments and services
• Hospitals
• Research and analysis laboratories
• Municipalities
• Pharmaceutical, food, agricultural, forestry and mining companies
• Consulting firms
• Nature centres
• Zoos and botanical gardens
• Parks and nature reserves

They plan and carry out laboratory and field studies to manage natural resources and develop new practices and products. They also work in such areas as:

• Quality control
• Sales
• Scientific communication
• Teaching biology at the college or university level (calls for a master's or doctoral degree)

Since many jobs require a certain degree of specialization, many people with a bachelor's degree in biological sciences pursue graduate studies.
