UK Physics Job FAQs
Most physics roles require at least a BSc in physics or a closely related subject such as applied physics, engineering physics or materials science. Research-focused and senior positions often ask for an MSc or PhD.
Some technical and testing roles will consider strong science graduates from adjacent disciplines, so always check the individual job requirements.
Physics graduates work in research and development, materials testing, instrumentation and metrology, optics and photonics, medical physics, energy and environmental science, and quality or validation roles.
The analytical and problem-solving skills involved also transfer well into data-focused and technical consultancy work.
Graduate and entry-level roles typically start around £25,000 to £30,000.
Experienced physicists and specialists in areas like R&D or medical physics commonly earn £35,000 to £50,000, with senior and principal-level roles paying more.
Pay varies by sector, specialism and location.
Physics roles are found across manufacturing and engineering businesses, technology and electronics companies, energy and environmental organisations, NHS and public sector laboratories, and research institutions and universities.
Vacancies come and go quickly, so a blank list doesn’t mean there’s no demand.
