Should I go for a PG Diploma in clinical research after pursuing B.Sc biotechnology degree?

I think there are plenty of opportunities to go after that most students/faculty oversee. Most faculty in biotechnology think that, the next steps after an undergraduate degree is to go for Ph.D/M.Sc. I strongly disagree with this. In addition to courses such as Master`s/ Ph.D in Biotechnology, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Pharmacology etc. I would suggest you to also look at the following options: Patent Agent/Lawyer/Attorney (Biotech + Legal Experience/Degree) Management (Biotech + Experience + Good MBA Degree) Biomedical/Biomechanical Engineer ((Biotech + Experience/Degree in Bio related Product Engineering) Bioprocess Engineer (Biotech + Experience/Specialization in downstream processing). This area has lot of potential. Clinical Research Related Jobs (Biotech + Experience/Specialization in Clinical Trials) Clinical Data Analysts (Biotech + Experience/Specialization in SAS/R/SPSS) Bioinformatics (Biotech + Specialization in Bioinformatics) Sales & Marketing-Biomedical Equipments/Assays (Biotech + Experience in Sales and there are many more. Also, with good experience you can also look at entrepreneurship as an option. There are lot of funding available from the Indian Government to promote biotech startups. Please join the conversation at the Biotechnology Jobs & Graduate Education Forum if you have any questions related to higher education or have any questions related to which field to choose in Biotechnology/ Biomedical/ Bioengineering.
