Research is a specialist field so there are no clear employment figures for this occupation. Researchers are employed by government agencies, universities and educational institutions, private enterprise, and non-profits — but they also work as independent consultants.

Researchers are degree qualified and generally hold a PhD in their specialist field. This could be medicine, natural sciences, IT, public health, psychology, engineering, social sciences, engineering, literature, and many more. Launch your career as a Researcher by choosing your specialist field and completing a Bachelor’s degree and graduate studies in that area. You may also wish to complete an additional Bachelor of Research, followed by your PhD. You will also benefit from supporting qualifications that develop your written communication and project management skills, plus the ability to apply for research funding.
