JOB OPPORTUNITIES

Courses offered in the Department of Physics, Universiti Malaya are suited for those who wish
to be scientists and professional technologists in research institutions and industries.
Physicists are in high demand, especially those trained in new and advanced materials, device
fabrication, nano-technology, testing and measurements. Today's industrial sector and
research institutions need physicists who can integrate new and advanced technology into
existing systems. Physics graduates are highly sought after in the electronics 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
