* Environmental Science/Management: A good choice if you're interested in the interplay between organisms and their environment.
* Biotechnology: Combines biology and chemistry, offering a range of career paths.
* Bioinformatics: Analyzing biological data using computational tools.
* MBBS (Medical School): If you're interested in a medical career, a strong ZBC background can be beneficial. However, entrance requirements vary widely.
* Pharmacy: A good option if you enjoyed the chemistry aspects of your BSc.
* Other related Masters: Consider options like Microbiology, Genetics, Toxicology, or Forensic Science.
Other options:
* Direct entry into certain jobs: Depending on your specific skills and experience during your BSc (e.g., research experience, internships), you might be able to enter roles in research laboratories, environmental agencies, or related industries.
* Teacher Training: If you enjoy teaching, a postgraduate certificate in education (PGCE) could be a good option.
To determine the best subject for *you* consider:
* Your passions: What aspects of ZBC did you enjoy the most?
* Career aspirations: What kind of job do you want?
* Research opportunities: Are there specific research areas within postgraduate programs that excite you?
* Financial considerations: What are the costs and funding opportunities associated with different programs?
It's highly recommended to research different postgraduate programs and talk to career advisors or professors in your field to help you make an informed decision. Consider your strengths and weaknesses and choose a path that aligns with your long-term goals.
