Our Graduates Make a Difference
As an Applied Scientist Graduate at PA, you’ll be able to apply what you have learned to real world challenges – this could be any part of your degree or science you have never seen before. Our scientists are constantly learning about their craft and broadening their knowledge, working alongside colleagues who all have a passion for using what they know, every day.
Making Science Real
We help our clients understand, contextualise and mature science from a blank sheet of paper to real life products and capabilities. We do this by understanding what the problem is that they are really trying to solve and we how we can sue the whole palette of techniques available within science to do this. Our breadth spans the creation of new kinds of radio receiver based on atomic gases, showing quantum computes can help make better decisions, to working with exciting start-ups to accelerate the development of affordable cell and gene therapies, which is set to revolutionise the healthcare industry
Enabling sustainability
The world needs products and processes that are more sustainable and make more efficient use of resources. We develop novel materials as replacements for single use plastics, novel sensors and sensing systems to help us make more intelligent use of resources; we support public sector, start-ups and the world’s largest corporates in understanding and achieving their sustainability ambitions.
Creating new medical devices and therapies
We develop new medical devices and the manufacturing processes that help save lives. We supported the UK’s Ventilator challenge – massively scaling the supply base for ventilators during the pandemic – everyone who needed a ventilator got one, and made use of our chemistry base to create a new way to test autoinjectors – saving time, energy and resources in developing these lifesaving technologies.
