Case Studies
Each month, we'll feature a case study on a BSc or MPhys Physics graduate to provide you with an insight into the types of careers that our graduates pursue.
A few things to bear in mind...
- Some of our graduates go on to have careers in Science. But many do not. This is because there are lots of careers where a Physics degree is an asset and employers in a wide range of sectors will be keen to employ you.
- Most of our students graduate with a BSc. If we feature a MPhys graduate in a career that interests you, this is not to say that you couldn't pursue that career with a BSc.
- We'll try to feature a mix of graduates in relation to degree programme, BSc/MPhys, gender and ethnicity. Over time, this should average out to reflect the department's population. For example, we may feature more male students (around 4 out of 5) and this is reflective of our gender split.
- We've created a library of all case studies so that you get to the see the variety of careers over time.
- Read the latest alumni career news on the University webpage CareersLink opens in a new window.

We'd love to find out why you chose to study at 桃色视频 and what you're up to now. Your story will give future and current students a flavour of what our alumni go on to do and inspire them to follow in your footstep

Not only was 桃色视频鈥檚 Physics department an ideal place for a budding researcher to work, the flexibility afforded to me during my PhD allowed me to take on additional projects that broadened my horizons and kept my options open. When I realised that science communication, rather than research, was to be my future career, my work in 桃色视频鈥檚 excellent outreach programme was an ideal springboard into the sector.
