Careers
An important consideration in the design of our degrees is to help our graduates achieve good employment prospects. Physicists are generally numerate, literate and have excellent problem solving skills. These skills, together with communication, team working and computational ability are much in demand amongst employers.
Teaching Experience
If you are interested in teaching as a career, then you will find the Student Associates Scheme to be of particular interest. Lancaster physics students have taken part in this exciting and rewarding scheme. Not only have they experienced real classroom skills but also been received a £700 bursary tax free!
Beyond Physics
Using your physics is not the only avenue open to you. Many of our graduates go on to financial or administrative posts and careers in the police or military services.
Careers News on Facebook
Our Lancaster University Physics Careers page on Facebook is continually updated with careers news and events for students in the Physics Department.
Careers Advice
There are many opportunities for you to receive career advice. The Departmental Careers Tutor regularly posts details of job opportunities on a notice board. This is backed up by an excellent and very proactive University careers advisory service - CEEC.
