Most students continue in a master's programme. Read the stories of graduates about their first job and find out where they ended up after the MSc Animal Sciences.
Most graduates choose a career in the industry in technical, commercial or managerial functions. Other graduates choose a career as scientific researcher at universities or research institutions. In the public sector (e.g. provincial, national or EU authorities), animal scientists work as policy advisors to, for example, develop legislation and policies for animal welfare and the environment. Others work for non-profit organisations. In addition, there are many more career opportunities, for example in financial services, zoos, IT branches or consultancies.
When you are interested to work as a teacherin secondary school or in vocational education, you can prepare yourself with a professional track in education in your master's programme.
The international character of the programme remains clearly visible even after the study. Almost 40% start a job abroad after graduation, in the context of development cooperation, as a researcher or from the industry.
