The Society of Biology is in the process of developing a pilot programme of Accredited UK Bioscience Degrees to help both employers and students identify bioscience degrees which provide graduates with the higher levels of skills needed to progress into scientific and research roles in industry and academia. The Society of Biology are adamant that industry and employer perspectives are considered as they develop our Accreditation design and have recently launched an Industry Survey on Accredited Degrees.
Society of Biology - Biology Degree Accreditation
The Society of Biology is currently developing criteria to accredit biological science degrees that will enable business to select those graduates with high quality practical skills more easily. The Society is aiming to pilot an accreditation process in 2010-2011 and will announce its accreditation criteria later this year. The Society is currently seeking the views of businesses on accreditation via a brief online survey.
Please take a moment to complete the Industry Survey on Accredited Degrees; it is an opportunity for your business’ needs to shape an Accreditation Programme which aims to help employers identify those bioscience graduates with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for employment in today’s bioscience-related industries.
Take part in the Industry Survey on Accredited Degrees before the end of December 2010.
