Career Opportunities
Study and career opportunities The Bachelor in Physics aims to develop a sound understanding of the physical laws which govern the universe and its processes. Students learn how to apply the principles and basic laws of key areas in physics such as mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, living matter, optics, or quantum mechanics. Bachelor in Physics graduates are highly sought-after across diverse domains, from teaching and research to industry. They have the choice to continue their studies with a Master in Physics or any other field of natural sciences, didactics, or applied research in engineering sciences and financial sectors. More info Study programme brochure Learning Outcomes Students undertaking the Bachelor in Physics (BPHY) degree programme gain solid competence in fundamental branches of mathematics. At the end of the Bachelor, students are able to: Explain and apply the principles and laws of the key areas in physics – mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, living matter, optics, and quantum mechanics – and understand the societal, social, and ethical consequences Master methodologies of physics Work in multilingual and international scientific teams in diverse environments Apply appropriate mathematical tools for the resolution of problems emerging in physics Apply the elementary techniques used in experimental physics Show critical judgement while interpreting results from experiment or theory Have basic knowledge in solid-state physics, soft matter and living matter physics, statistical physics, programming, and advanced quantum mechanics Have successfully conducted a scientific project in the field of physics and can initiate independent roles as a scientist Present scientific results in a written form or orally striving for clarity, accuracy, and rigour Have skills in various complementary areas, like physics didactics, programming, or languages. Study perspectives The main opportunity for graduates from the Bachelor in Physics is to c

Recognition of prior experience The recognition of prior experience is possible in this programme (transfer of ECTS from your former university). All applicants willing to get their ECTS transferred should note the following: (a) Previously obtained ECTS intended toward recognition should have been obtained within the last 5 years at the time of submission of the application for the BPHY programme. ECTS obtained more than 5 years ago will not be considered for prior recognition. (b) The request for ECTS recognition should be mentioned in the cover letter accompanying BPHY admission application. Applicants should provide a clear explanation for their request of ECTS recognition. Failing to provide adequate explanation will disqualify the applicant’s request.(c) Following the above steps, applicants will be invited to an interview with the Admission Commission to assess their prior experience, based on which the final decision on the request will be taken.For more information, please have a look at the dedicated page.
