Whether you are interested in a physics-related career or aim to work in a completely different field, a BSc Physics degree from a highly regarded Russell Group department will impress recruiters in a wide range of exciting and challenging professions.
Alongside your scientific training you’ll develop transferable skills such as computation and coding, complex problem solving, statistical analysis, and presentation and project management skills. In addition, employers in any sector will recognise that, as a physics graduate, you’ll have an inquiring mind, the ability to grasp complicated ideas, and an appetite for a challenge.
If you don’t already have a career path in mind, we’ll support you in investigating the options. During year two you’ll have access to a programme of physics-focused career sessions, timetabled to fit in with your studies, which include application and interview workshops as well as talks from visiting professionals. We can also help you find a paid summer placement to give you valuable hands-on experience and the chance to make industry contacts.
Our graduates work in the private and public sectors, in government, defence, finance, business, and industry. In addition, around a third of Physics and Astronomy students continue their studies at PhD level.
