Physics Careers

The Physics Department at Lagan College encourages every pupil to think about the huge range of careers relating to Physics, from sound engineering to astronomy, from the latest hospital scanners to nanotechnology, and from designing the latest in smart materials for fashion to laser fusion research.

The best web-site for Careers related to Physics is the Institute of Physics: www.physics.org/careers


This covers Communications, Environment, Medicine, Space, Transport, Engineering, Education and many more.

A fun way of looking at Science Careers is provided at www.futuremorph.org

If you are thinking about Engineering as a Career, then the website of the Institute of Engineering and Technology is the best starting place. This explains about the different types of engineering, and how to go about getting into them:
