Where are they now?
Our graduates use their skills as physicists in a huge range of careers, working in fields from satellite technology to data management. Typically around a third or more of our graduates go on to study for a higher degree, such as a PhD or an MSc.

Graduate Destinations
The University of Surrey writes to its graduates approximately six months after they have graduated and asks after their job, whether they are undertaking further study etc. We have the results of this survey. Examples of jobs our graduates have gone on to are: Graduate Engineer at Astrium, Consultant at Cascade Technologies and Remote Sensing Scientist at QinetiQ.
