MSc Teaching Assistant Scheme
About
Every year, our Teaching Assistant Scheme enables MSc students in the Department of Physics to earn while they study, providing teaching support to undergraduate students. The Teaching Assistant Scheme is open to students on all Physics MSc programmes.
Teaching assistants are involved in a range of duties including laboratory supervision, in-class tutorial support and support with computing classes. You can expect to earn around £1,000 to £2,000 per annum, depending on the number of hours you work, and the work is organised to avoid timetabled course commitments. Training is provided for students who are appointed as teaching assistants.
Eligibility
The Scheme is open to students on all MSc programmes in physics:
- MSc Physics
- MSc Medical Physics
- MSc Radiation and Environmental Protection
- MSc Nuclear Science and Applications.
How to apply
Applications for this scheme are currently closed. They are due to open in May/June, so please check back.
Deadlines
Deadline to be confirmed.
Applications will be shortlisted and invited to an interview at the University, with two members of the Department of Physics staff. For overseas students who are unable to attend, an online interview can be organised instead. Final allocations will be subject to availability of positions, experience and the requirement of attending university training courses.
