My boyfriend is just starting to study Forensic Science with Biology, and i am just curious what sort of jobs / position you could get after an undergraduate degree. Or would you have to continue studying after?

It depends on what grade he gets and what area he wants to work in. You can take the degree further and train to be a forensic scientist, or go into some sort of clinical science (also more training) with the NHS.
Police is another option, or crime scene investigator.. or if he gets a good grade he can apply to any of the graduate training schemes that are advertised every year - includes NHS, Government, Customs and Excise, Accountancy for the big firms such as Pincents or KPMG, Mars, Cadburys...the list is huge.
There is also the route of teaching. If he wants to do teach secondary school he can go straight into a PGCE or alternatively he can do a masters and a PhD and become a university lecturer.
If he gets a 2:2 or less he may well end up going via the route of temping or working for a small lab to gain experience.

:-) It's really tough (as I have found out through personal experience!) but there are jobs out there. He could work in any area of forensic biology such as DNA profiling (thats what i do now) or any kind of body fluid work such as blood splatter analysis. There are a few major forensic companies who he could work for but it's difficult to break into it, my advice to him would be get as much lab experience as he can (I got mine in a hospital heamatology lab). He could also turn his hand to Scenes of crime work for the police if he was so inclined :-) lots of oppertunities for people who work hard :-D good luck to him.

The police department in their crime scene investigation unit. The FBI
He should be able to find a very good paying job when done.

He can qualify for jobs like crime scene technician, or other jobs in a crime lab.
