Will AI take the jobs this course leads to?
Biological Sciences at Heriot-Watt University.
Across the jobs this course's graduates actually enter, AI is already used for about 30% of the measured tasks. The figure blends the published destination jobs below with the course's subject-level baseline, so it is not a straight average of the table. It is a measurement of today's AI usage, not a prediction that the jobs disappear, and not a judgment on the course.
Where its graduates go
Destination shares are the course's own published outcomes; exposure per destination blends published AI-usage research (Anthropic and OpenAI, 2026) with our own UK review of moats, robotics and scientific developments. The 5 largest scored destinations are shown, covering 45% of graduates; remaining destinations are smaller or unpublished, and the headline above also reflects the subject baseline.
