Panel: Your Physics Skills in a New Industry
A physics degree equips you with widely applicable skills such as a fundamental understanding of the world, the ability to solve complex and ill-defined problems, applying advanced mathematics to the real world, communication, and independent research. These skills are highly transferrable across many industries and career paths.
This panel brings together physicists working in a variety of roles outside academia to discuss how the skills developed through their physics degrees have helped them transition into and excel in new fields. Panellists will reflect on their experiences learning new skills required for their roles and share advice and lessons learned for physicists entering the workforce or considering a move into a new industry.

2:00 pm

Career Fair Exhibition (1h 45 min)
Come and meet organisations that employ physicists at the Career Fair Exhibition! Meet representatives from a wide range of industries, including scientific and technical services, quantum technology, medical and health, data and technology, government, earth and environmental sciences, law, and more.

This is your opportunity to ask questions, discover new career paths, learn how physics skills are applied in different fields, get career advice, and make connections with potential future employers!
