Overview

Chemical Physics with work placement is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Physics splits the week between lectures and laboratory work, and the final stage is built around a supervised research project.

Tuition ranges from £27,720 to £33,210 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Roles graduates go into

  • Research scientist, after a doctorate
  • Data scientist or quantitative analyst
  • Systems or instrumentation engineer
  • Software engineer
  • Medical physicist, after training
  • Physics teacher, with a teaching qualification

Where they work

  • Technology and engineering companies
  • Finance and trading firms
  • Defence, aerospace and national laboratories
  • NHS medical physics
  • Schools and universities
After the course

A doctorate for research, the NHS Scientist Training Programme for medical physics, or a PGCE for teaching.
