Is it easy to find a job with a major in pharmaceutical biotechnology?

Pharmaceutical biotechnology majors are easy to find jobs.

Big trends:

I worked for a period of time in the Ministry of Science and Technology last year. Biotechnology and artificial intelligence, quantum information and mobile Internet are considered to be disruptive technologies in today’s world. Biotechnology The strategic position in leading future economic and social development has become increasingly prominent, and the biological industry is accelerating to become a new leading industry after the information industry.

Currently, gene editing technology, synthetic biology and cellular immunotherapy are having a disruptive impact on agricultural breeding, industrial microbial production and disease treatment. Therefore, in terms of general trends, the employment prospects of biotechnology majors are bright, and it is good for children to be interested in studying this major.

Employment status:

The prospects are good, we also need to take a look at the current employment status. Referring to the "Chinese College Student Employment Report a" published annually by the Max Research Institute, since 2010, bioengineering and biotechnology majors have been listed as red card warning majors by the Max Research Institute (large unemployment, employment rate, Majors with lower salary and employment satisfaction), based on employment indicators,

The jobs after graduating from biology-related majors are mainly concentrated in the fields of pharmaceuticals, bioengineering, medical health and new energy. Average salary is average. Most of the jobs are concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Life is quite stressful. Compared with higher vocational colleges and only graduates. The advantages for undergraduate students in bioengineering are not obvious.

However, the situation is changing. With the rapid development of the biomedical industry, we have found in our work that the recruitment scale and salary packages in the biomedical industry are continuing to improve. The Employment Blue Book of the Max Research Institute began to change bioengineering and biotechnology from red cards to yellow cards in 2018.

Pharmaceutical biotechnology mainly studies basic knowledge and skills in chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, drug testing technology, pharmaceutical management, etc., and conducts drug production, inspection, analysis, quality control, etc. For example: the production of biological drugs such as insulin, vitamins, antibiotics, penicillin, inspection and analysis of specific ingredients and content of drugs, inspection and control of drug efficacy and quality, etc.
