MSc graduates in Engineering Physics often find employment in the field of research and development in both major, well-established companies, in scientific research, and start-up businesses. As the examples show, there is a wide spectrum of job opportunities.\
\
A large number of graduates choose to continue their studies by pursuing a PhD.

### Typical fields of work

Advanced physics skills and the competencies acquired through the Engineering Physics programme are applicable in a wide range of areas—for example in the energy sector as well as in the life-science sector. MSc graduates often find jobs that leave room for variation—where they can help plan their own work assignments, and which include some travelling.

### Career opportunities

MSc graduates in Engineering Physics are typically employed in research and development departments in private and private organizations such as:

- Haldor Topsoe, Foss, Novo Nordisk, Oticon, Grundfos, NIL Technology, Ticra, Sophion, Bioscience, Meggit, 3Shape, Danish Technological Institute.

### Pursue a PhD

Once you have an MSc in Engineering, you might get the opportunity to continue your studies and apply for admission to the three-year PhD which at DTU is a research-based programme ranking among the best in the world. You can do either a regular PhD or an industrial PhD, the latter with concurrent employment in a company.\
\
As a PhD student, you will be part of a research group and will carry out an independent scientific project.
