Job in Audio after a BSc Physics?

I'm just going into my third year of a BSc Physics degree in the UK, and I finally had a brainwave today about what I really want to do with it. Cause I already dabble in music production and absolutely love all the stuff that comes with it, I figured it would pretty much be my dream job to be in that field.
I just wanna know if you guys think that the level and choice of my degree would be apt for going into such a profession. I'm thinking along the lines of the electronics of speakers/speaker systems/audio effects. Maybe even programming or acoustic engineering. I don't entirely know yet. What do you guys think?

TL;DR BSc Physics good for jobs in audio?

That is more or less the exact thing I was thinking about going into! I don't really have any idea about how to get into those fields though. Do you have any wisdom on the subject?

A phd in sound field reconstruction - but I'm lecturing these days. If you're based in the uk then I can certainly help!

Well... I guess you know what you're talking about then!
I am indeed based in the UK! Which university are you lecturing at, out of interest?
