Employer Services

Our aim is to promote physics in industry through engagement with employers in the South East of England. That's why we're committed to providing businesses with access to some of the brightest minds, and providing students with 30 fully funded bursaries that allow them to work for eight weeks in industry.

Why hire a physics graduate?

A physicist is a problem solver. According to the Institute of Physics, "Today's physicists are employed across a broad spectrum of careers because their education and training can be applied to any number of situations, from academia and industry, to consultancy and financial services." Considering that physics has been recognised as a subject of strategic importance for the UK economy, the benefits are almost limitless.

I'm an employer in the region. What can SEPnet do for me?
