The Cambridge Life Sciences Careers Fair gives you the opportunity to meet all students and researchers across the university including undergraduates, MPhils, PhDs and postdocs. Attendees will be interested in learning more about the variety of roles available in the life science sector, from roles in Research & Development as well as a broad range of non-research career paths.

We welcome organisations working across therapeutics, drug discovery, and reagents in the biomedical field in addition to those focusing on plant science, agriculture and healthcare. We'll also be welcoming a wide range of service providers to the life science industry. 

In 2025 the fair attracted 462 attendees. Nearly all attendees came from STEM subjects, with students from our natural sciences triposes, biological sciences and chemistry disciplines having the largest representation.
