- Clinical Research Associate: Oversee clinical trials and support medical research.
- Medical Science Liaison: Connect pharmaceutical companies with healthcare professionals.

You can work in any role that is eligible under the UK's post-study work and skilled worker visa routes.

- Graduate Visa (Post-Study Work): After your master's, you can work in any job at any skill level for up to 2 years. No sponsorship is needed, but this visa cannot be extended.
- Skilled Worker Visa: To stay longer, you need a job offer in an eligible occupation from a licensed UK employer. The role must meet skill and salary requirements (typically RQF Level 6+ and at least £41,700/year, subject to change).

With your background in dentistry, roles such as dental associate, dental hygienist, or dental therapist may be possible if they meet visa criteria.
