Careers outside science for scientists Physics is widely regarded as a demanding degree to get and employers know that to get a good physics degree, you have to be bright! A physicist looks to understand how things work: the reasons that things happen the way they do, which requires the ability to analyse problems. This is a highly marketable skill which is applicable to a wide range of careers. A degree in Physics gives you an excellent grounding in many areas, what you make of it after you graduate is up to you! One survey in The Times suggested that Physics was in fact the most employable of degrees. DESTINATIONS OF RECENT KENT PHYSICS GRADUATES (includes M.Phys, Space Science & Astrophysics, and Physics with Forensic Science) These statistics only cover the first six months after graduation.

About 34% of physics graduates from Kent have opted to postgraduate study for a PhD or Masters degree in recent years. This is partly because grants are more easily available in the Sciences for postgraduate study than in the Arts or Social Sciences. It should be remembered though that postgraduate study is not an easy option and research for a PhD will require dedication and determination to see things through over a period of 3 or more years - especially when experiments are not going right! See our section on Postgraduate Study www.kent.ac.uk/careers/postgradmenu.htm PHYSICS-RELATED JOBS A large proportion of physics graduates entering permanent jobs after graduation go into research, design and development. Although you can get a job as a trainee research scientist with a good first degree, for those wanting a long term career in research it may be advisable to study for a doctorate as promotion within research may be hindered without one. However, many junior research staff use research as a stepping stone to other functions within the company, such as marketing, patent work and production management, and for graduates with these ambitions a postgraduate degree would not be necessary. Many of these jobs are with electronics, telecommunications and defence companies and may be nearer engineering than pure physics. See the section on Research and Development. Areas of growth include nuclear and renewable energy, environmental jobs and defence but employers such as Rolls-Royce, AWE and RM Consulting also actively seek to employ physicists.

"Vive Carpentier! ' came from a mighty chorus of voices. Paris was still in an ecstasy of enthusiasm; my contest against Joe Beckett, so swift, sensational, dramatic, incredible, remained the wonder of the moment, and as I looked from my window on to the street below I shook and shivered. My father, a man of Northern France hard, stern, unemotional clutched the hand of my mother, whose eyes were streaming wet. Albert, also my two other brothers arid sister made a strange group. They were transfixed. Francois Descamps was pale; his ferret-like eyes blinked meaninglessly. Only my dog, Flip, now I come to think of it all understood for he gave himself over to howls of happiness. This day of unbounded joy so burnt itself into my mind that I shall remember it for all time. "Georges, mon ami," exclaimed my father, " no such moment did I ever think would come into our lives." And I understood. My life, as I look back upon it, has been a round of wonders.

  • Government Science and Engineering Organisational Directory of Expertise
    Government Science and Engineering organisational directory of expertise Version 1.2 Government Science & Engineering (GSE) Science and engineering capability in government About the directory The online directory was developed by the Departmental Heads of Science and Engineering Profession in partnership with the Government Office for Science as an action of the 2012 government science and engineering review: ‘Making the most of scientists and engineers in government’. Its purpose is to help articulate the science and engineering capability in government and to help build networks across and within organisations. Our aims in developing it are to aid senior decision makers in establishing links to other organisations and locate experts; help more clearly define the Government Science & Engineering (GSE) cohort; and enable individuals in the GSE profession to build understanding, links and organisational resilience. The directory entries do not seek to list in-depth information or details on every area in which a given organisation is expert. Instead they are designed to be readily accessible to the non- specialist, contain basic information and sign-post ways of finding more detail. This document contains clickable links that will redirect to websites where further relevant information may be found along with contact details for key staff who may be able to help direct enquiries to the most suitable individual. We are grateful to the working group led by Alan Pratt (Home Office) for their efforts in bringing together this resource, and to officials across the GSE network for providing material for the entries. If you believe a link is broken please contact the GSE team at the Government Office for Science.

  • 1849-1999 Chapter Four: 1924-1949
    A Picture of the Age: 1849-1999 Written by Graham Citrine to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Christ Church Chapter Four: 1924-1949 .We are now entering an age which will be within the experience of a great many of us - a time of our childhood and our youth, and therefore a time, perhaps, of real nostalgia, for these were our ‘Good Old Days’. Again, my apologies if some fondly remembered event is only mentioned briefly or not at all. The 1920’s were a time of real optimism: people really believed that the Great War was a ‘War to end all Wars’. The great powers seemed to have settled their age-old problems and differences. At Locarno in 1924 the western powers agreed to respect their frontiers (though, significantly, Germany did not accept her eastern frontiers). In 1927, the Kellogg- Briand Pact saw an agreement by all signatories never to use war as an instrument of policy. Germany was accepted into the League of Nations as an equal, and the League was seen as a real hope for a peaceful settlement of all quarrels - old enemies seemed to be making a valiant effort to understand other points of view. In the same vein, nearer at home, in 1929 the coming-of-age of the Boy Scout Movement was celebrated with a Jamboree in Arrowe Park, Birkenhead having seen the first Scout Troop in the world being formed at the YMCA in Grange Road. [(My Scout Master, John Dudleston, had been a Patrol Leader in that first troop!] Boys from every country in the world came together and it was believed that if the nations’ youth buried their differences then peace and understanding on an international scale was possible.
