Science Degrees (Biological Scientists and Biochemists)
The science sector is expected to grow by 4.2% by 2027, providing approximately 4,500 new jobs. Degrees in biological sciences and biochemistry can lead to careers in these disciplines.
Architecture Degrees
By 2027, the architecture sector is predicted to witness a 4.3% increase in job possibilities, resulting in around 2,900 new job opportunities. A degree in architecture can lead to rewarding professions in this field.
Computer Science Degrees
In the United Kingdom, the discipline of computer science, particularly programming and software development, is predicted to grow rapidly. By 2027, there will be a jump in demand, resulting in approximately 12,500 additional job openings (a 4.2% increase in job growth). A degree in computer science can open doors to possibilities in the rapidly increasing technology industry.
These degrees correspond to the skill requirements of the respective professions and are now held by professionals working in these fields. Pursuing these degrees can help people access industries with job shortages and contribute to the UK’s workforce difficulties.
