Physics University of Jyväskylä

Overview

You have four options to direct your studies:

• The Physics of Quantum Materials option provides expert skills in material science.
• The Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Astrophysics option provides competence in nuclear and radiation physics for research and applications.
• The Particle and Quark Matter Physics and Cosmology option provides a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of matter and the universe.

• Finally, the Physics Applications in Technology and Society option provides physics know-how to build a career in R&D and innovations.

Employment prospects have traditionally been excellent since the programme provides a skill set valued in industry and academia alike. Studies also emphasise project management and communication skills.

Career

During the degree studies, you will strengthen your expertise in material science, nuclear science, particle physics and cosmology, or physics applications. Since the principles of physics are independent of language, culture, or the state of the economy, this expertise secures an advantage for graduates in the global job market. After graduation, you can design and lead projects within the international atmosphere and communicate fluently about science.

Students graduating from the programme can find employment in universities, research institutes, high-tech companies, defence forces, the finance sector, game and software industry.
