Science technology graduate programme

In 2023, only 43% of biomedical science graduates secured jobs in science, with the majority venturing into non-scientific careers. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly difficult for graduates without postgraduate qualifications to secure jobs in scientific research. The LMS recognises the challenges that new science graduates face, particularly the lack of career opportunities available to them, and is committed to improving this situation. The LMS Science technology graduate programme has been established to provide UK graduates with an exciting opportunity to expand their scientific knowledge, develop their technical skills, and inspire the further generations of UK scientists. Graduates will be based within our core research facilities, where they will work to progress scientific outputs, develop and refine facility methodologies, and conduct environmental sustainability-related pilots for the betterment of the LMS.

Graduates enrolling on this programme will receive hands-on laboratory training on state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge research methodologies, which will enable them to interact with some of the best scientists in the UK. In addition to specialist training and practical experience, graduates will have access to training courses and opportunities that will further their professional development. This programme has been designed to provide a comprehensive package, transforming aspiring scientists into highly sought after technical professionals, fully equipped to pursue a career in science.
