Biological medical analyst (bol)

As an analyst, you could work in the laboratory of a cosmetics, food, or plastics processing company, for example. You could work in pharmaceuticals, at universities, hospitals, or the Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority. You could also work in veterinary medicine, the metal industry, or a blood bank. If you want to continue your studies, you can transfer to a university of applied sciences (HBO). For example, in Applied Science at Fontys TNW, in the same building as Summa Laboratory, Chemistry or Biology, or Life Science or Food & Pharma.

There's high demand for people in technical healthcare. Therefore, there are plenty of internships and jobs available!
