Physics is the basis of many other sciences, including chemistry, oceanography, seismology, and astronomy. With a physics degree you are qualified to enter a vast variety of careers. Physics graduates become involved in meteorology, medical physics, environmental monitoring, astronomy, particle physics, geophysics, materials science, invention, design, teaching and even financial modelling.
