MSc Teaching Assistant Scheme

About

Every year, our Teaching Assistant Scheme enables students on our physics MSc programmes to earn while they study, providing teaching support to undergraduate students. 

Teaching assistants are involved in a range of duties including laboratory supervision, in-class tutorial support and support with computing classes. You can expect to earn around £1,000 to £1,500 per annum, depending on the number of hours you work, and the work is organised to avoid timetabled course commitments. Training is provided for students who are appointed as teaching assistants.

Eligibility 

The Scheme is open to students on all MSc programmes in physics:

  • MSc Medical Physics
  • MSc Nuclear Science and Radiation Protection
