BA Minor Physics 60 ECTS

Bachelor Minor Physics (60 ECTS)

Career Goals and Fields of Activity

Physics graduates have a wide range of employment opportunities, as their ability to analyse and solve complex problems enables them to familiarise themselves very quickly with less familiar topics. Studying physics with a Master's degree therefore offers a wide range of opportunities. Thanks to their interdisciplinary training, graduates are highly versatile and have excellent and secure career opportunities in a wide range of sectors, such as

in industrial research and development centres
in teaching at schools, colleges and universities
as an IT expert both in companies and as a freelancer
in the patent system (law firms and patent offices)in the patent system (law firms and patent offices)
at management consultancies, financial service providers, insurance companies and banks
in the public sector

Despite changing economic conditions, the opportunities on the labour market for graduates in physics are very good and have remained so for a long time.
