We also welcome applications from those who have studied Physics, but you will need to demonstrate a strong background in electronics – please state which modules you have studied. You will also need to have gained at least a 2:1 degree in your subject. Applications are welcomed from those completing a doctorate, undertaking postgraduate research or working in industry.
