Program Overview
Physicists are both researchers and managers of projects and of teams working on solving concrete technical problems. Their general training opens up career prospects every bit as broad as the field of investigation of the chosen specialization. Fundamental research, applied research in the field of specialized technology, the management of companies or public institutions, and teaching are among the many possible career options in which physicists are able to progress according to their goals and field of expertise. While being rooted in the practical, training in physics requires good mathematical skills, a marked taste for scientific rigor, and a penchant for conceptualization and abstraction.
