What can I do after studying biomedicine besides research?
Hello,
I'm currently in my third semester of studying Molecular Medicine/Biomedicine and am working part-time as a research assistant in a lab. I enjoy the lab work, but I believe that if I work in the lab for the remaining three or four years of my studies and then possibly pursue a PhD, I'll have enough lab work for life.
Of course, I have already done a lot of research on my own, but I am still unsure what options I have left after my studies besides research/laboratory work.
Ideally, I would like jobs in a pharmaceutical company and please no “office chair jobs”.
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards
Sarah
Not office and not LAbor, of course, is a lot excluded.
At your point, I would ask higher semesters where they want to go. That might bring you ideas.
You can also just look what pharmaceutical companies write out, which sounds interesting and whether you would be suitable for it.
Potentially, are there travel activities that are monitoring or coordinating? That would not be a pure office job.
Whether this is something where you are ideal for qualified students, I cannot judge.
Have you ever looked at whether you can work as a teacher (if this is a question for you)? As far as I know, there are paths without a classical study of the law of the law, but I don’t know any details. That wouldn’t be an office or LAbor.
Travel activities sound very good. I can also imagine working abroad very well.
Teacher is not in question for me. But thank you!

Something like that?
Thank you.
You can try to get in touch with pharmaceutical companies in a timely manner, where there are also questions about research and development.
You could also make further training towards clinical testing.
In any case, it will take a little while to Ph.D. In order to guide you about further developments in the field, you should also try to go to congresses. Traditionally, management skills in pharmaceutical companies are also in question.
If you already know that you don’t want to go into research (why not really, this is the core area of your subject), then what do you actually have against “office jobs “.
Finally, there are also associations and international organisations which deal with the topic,
A legal alternative is the patent attorney, which can be done with such a study. It’s more like an office chair job for you.

Thank you for the detailed answer. Because I’ve been working in the lab for a few years now, I’d like to have a different job as a job after graduation. On the one hand, I lack the contact with customers in laboratory work, but also in my area is little teamwork in the laboratory. Everyone works for themselves. Working in a team, customer contact and responsibility are things I wish for my later job.
I am also very interested in management activities! I am also happy to provide additional qualifications, but I am insecure as I did best after my studies in order to be able to work as a medical advisor or so, for example.
I actually go to fairs and I recently made a trip with a small group to Novartis in Basel and then linked connections:). In addition, this semester I also provide a BWL course.
I’m just afraid not to get out of the lab rail or not have enough skills from other areas to make certain activities.
Thank you.
Then try to make internships at an early stage, perhaps even at smaller companies. Don’t be too bad for sales.
Do you mean something like pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical sales?
And I like to do internships, but I often have completely planned my semester holidays with internships
