industries, space industry, computer and information technology, telecommunication, and
various electrical and mechanical manufacturing industries. They often serve as materials
process engineers, quality control engineers in the production division or researchers in
the division of research and development (R&D). Many Physics graduates have also made
excellent marketing and sales executives for modern, sophisticated scientific equipment.
Other opportunities include those in the medical field. Laser technology, x-ray, NMR,
radiation and ultrasound are commonly used in various medical fields; hence, Physics
graduates are suited to assist medical officers in operating and managing these systems
and data analysis.
There is an excellent opportunity for Physics graduates to become academicians and
researchers in Institutions of Higher Learning upon furthering their studies to the PhD level.
Besides, Physics lecturers and teachers are also in high demand in schools and public and
private colleges.
POST-GRADUATE DEGREE (FIELDS OF RESEARCH)
Post-graduate candidates may pursue the MSc and PhD programs (by research) in various
areas such as Plasma Physics, Laser Physics, Photonics, Semiconductor Physics and
Devices, Display Devices, Thin Film Technology, Materials Science, Polymer Physics,
