As well as being qualified for employment in the field of physics itself, graduates in Physics are well equipped for specialised career training in many related fields including biophysics, medical research, geophysics, environmental science, oceanography, meteorology, computing, teaching, library work. Research training and a higher degree, particularly PhD, provide the usual mode of entry into academic, governmental and industrial research. A background of physics is necessary in most areas of high technology.
Opportunities extend over a very wide range of fields and throughout the world.
