Mathematics and physics research courses

We have a postgraduate research employer mentoring programme to help our PhD students find out about career options for doctorates in business and industry earlier in their PhD, and to better manage the transition from academic research to work outside of university.

Mentors come from a variety of different employer types, sectors and sizes, such as NPL, AWE, Oxford Instruments and SME, Fourth State Medicine.

After graduation, our PhD and EngD students go on to careers in both the private and public sectors such as postdoctoral positions at British or overseas universities, academia, working in private sector companies making radiation detectors, photonics companies, oil companies etc, applying their skills in related areas such as data science, working in public sector companies such as Dstl and AWE.
