The Institute strongly supports the Year in Employment Scheme (YES) which offers the chance for students to have one year's work experience before returning for their final year. Placements in industry, government laboratories or abroad give valuable employment experience, the scope to develop personal and technical skills as well as establishing valuable contacts with potential employers.

The Institute also fully participates in the university's exchange scheme with the USA. This is a competitive scheme that offers students a chance to spend a year studying at one of a number of physics departments in the USA.
