Job outlook

Most biologists work in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and environmental sectors, where we are seeing major advances in the Biological Sciences. such as:

  • Government ministries and departments;
  • 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.
 

Biologists 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 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.

Finally, if you're interested in a career teaching biological sciences at the secondary level, you could follow up your bachelor's degree with a Master's in Education, majoring in High School Teaching (in French).
