Engineering physics applies principles and techniques of physics to engineering. As an engineering physics student, you’ll learn how to produce real-world solutions to engineering problems. Your degree might cover topics such as micro and nano electronics, materials design and quantum technology. You may also be able to cover topics from other branches of engineering such as electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Many students go on to postgraduate level study in physics or engineering after completing their degree. Common career paths for graduates of engineering physics include medical physicist, research scientist, meteorologist, product development and physics engineer.
