Physics is a well respected course to have studied and you will have obtained many skills that employers are looking for. There are obvious careers that follow straight on from physic, where you can work in nuclear power, x-ray technology, and mechanics or as medical physicists, engineers and astrophysicists. Alternatively you can carry on with your academic progress and become an expert within your field.

Working in the Astrophysics domain is highly competitive and graduates should try to gain experience and make sure the applications are pristine to find their roles. Medical physicists can take on a two year training course while working and this will certify them to work independently and allow them to progress. After studying physics there are a range of roles in mechanics and engineering. These will generally require a Masters or conversion course, but your physics course will have sent you firmly in the right direction (see our engineering page for more info).

Other attributes that you will have gained that employers will be interested in are your IT and numerical skills. This coupled with your logical approach to work and your fantastic problem solving abilities will allow you to enter into financial and IT industries.
