A degree in Physics prepares students to achieve a diversity of potential career directions. Physics graduates are trained to analyze data, solve problems, handle equations and communicate complex ideas. This training imparts a better know-how of how the world works on a scientific and human level. Therefore an array of flexible career choices awaits physics graduates. 

Physics has numerous branches and a wide variety of applications. After a physics degree, one can pursue further studies in Astro physics, Nanotechnology, Quantum Physics, Thermodynamics, Radiation / Medical Physics etc., apart from the conventional, purely Physics post graduation. 

A P.G in Physics can find you openings in Engineering, IT field, Power, oil & gas plants, Aerospace, Defence, Telecommunication, Electronics, Aviation & Automobile sectors etc. Further you can pursue a PhD and take up Research, or qualify National Eligibility Test/ NET or SET Exam to take up a teaching career in schools or colleges.   

Here let’s take a look at the various fields you can venture into, either for further studies/ or to find a job, after doing courses in physics. Click the links for more details on the particular topic.

  • Careers in Space and Astronomy

    After the successful completion of MSc in Physics, one can do specialization in astronomy leading to Ph. D. which enables one to become an astronomer/ astronaut/ astrophysicist, or a scientist/ research officer in the field of space research.
