Summer Placements in Industry

Many companies want to take on physicists for summer placements and other career opportunities. Below are some which especially stand out or just randomly jumped into our mind.

Blackboard

The most comprehensive list of companies where you can find placements is on blackboard. Its in a section called “Placement and Careers Resources for Physics and Astronomy Students”.

Deloitte

Deloitte is the brand under which tens of thousands of dedicated professionals in independent firms throughout the world collaborate to provide audit, consulting, financial advisory, risk management, and tax services to selected clients. They offer summer placements with more infomation on their site.
