Workforce or Alternative Careers
Some of our students find entry-level technical roles after graduating from their program. Check out some of the roles and companies past graduates have landed under the broad umbrella of science.
Others work in scientific sectors, but in alternative roles, such as sales, marketing, communications or management. Still alumni pursue additional degrees in complementary fields such as education, medicine, dentistry.
Postgraduate Studies
An undergraduate degree is not a professional degree, but can be the first step towards a more specialized career in science. Science programs at the master’s and PhD equip students with in-depth research skills that are highly sought in government, academic and industrial settings

“[TMU] is a wonderful environment to share ideas and be intellectually curious. My undergraduate experience inexorably set me down a career path in research, and I find it immensely gratifying. After graduating, I completed Master’s degrees at Oxford and Harvard in Immunology and Epidemiology respectively, and an M.D. at Dalhousie. I am now a fellow in neuroradiology & intervention at Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston, focusing on the diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of brain and spine conditions.”
