Career Prospects

Apart from opening the door to further studies in almost every other area of academic pursuit, a good bachelor’s degree in physics puts you in a good position for employment in research agencies, in traditional engineering fields and newer fields such as software engineering; in education, agriculture, the banking and service industry, security agencies such as the army, navy, airforce, and police service. You may also be able to take up a career in the media, among others.

For those intending further pursuit of knowledge in physics and related areas, the options available span the range from mathematics and applied mathematics to astrophysics, geophysics, condensed matter physics, meteorology and atmospheric physics, energy studies, optics and laser physics, nuclear physics and engineering, computer science and artificial intelligence research and deployment, nano-science and applications, and many more.

Tuition Method

Lectures, group assignments, case studies/reviews, class presentations, project work, field visits and seminars.
