Job & career
As a physics graduate, you are able to systematically analyze and solve complex problems – a skill that is in demand not only in research but also in areas such as consulting and management.
For the international job market in research and development, it is recommended to pursue a Master’s degree in Physics after completing a Bachelor’s degree. Only then are the skills of physicists fully developed and can be put to full use.
The following are typical sectors where physicists can find employment:
- High-tech industry (electronics, semiconductors, sensors)
- Computer industry (software and hardware development)
- Research and teaching (universities, Max Planck and Fraunhofer Institutes)
- Optical technologies (lasers, biophotonics, communication)
- Consulting, banks (risk management, analysis)
- Environmental protection (e.g., radiation protection)
- Medical technology (medical imaging)
- Government service (e.g. patent offices)
