IOP Careers Service

The IOP Careers Service recognises that just because you’ve studied for a physics degree it does not mean that you will have exactly the same career objectives as your fellow physics graduates. We recognise the value of a physics degree and the variety of opportunities it presents and will be able to offer you help and advice you at any stage of your career. IOP provides careers support, guidance and advice in a variety of ways to suit your needs:
