Engineering Physics, Master of Science (Technology)

Studies in Engineering Physics create a basis for the technological applications of physics and open the doors for different careers in industry, science and research. A profound understanding of physics and mathematics can be employed in finding novel solutions to both present-day and future’s challenges.

Master's Programme in Engineering Physics is strongly research oriented. Almost half of the MSc graduates continue towards a doctorate. The research focus areas range from experimental and theoretical materials physics to nanophysics and nanoscience, and to novel energy solutions. The study programme differs from a more classical university physics in its proximity to concrete, practical research questions. Its connection to real-life problems is very strong.

Career opportunities

Graduates of the Engineering Physics programme have traditionally found an exceptionally wide variety of careers both in the private sector, industry, and in the public sector ranging from research to consulting and management positions. A strong education in physics, closely knit to the research at Aalto University andDepartment of Applied Physics, is also an excellent starting point for a career in academia.

Opinnot luovat valmiudet fysiikan teknologiseen soveltamiseen. Tutkimussuuntautuneet opinnot suuntautuvat esimerkiksi kokeelliseen ja teoreettiseen materiaalifysiikkaan, nanofysiikkaan ja nanotieteeseen sekä uusiin energiaratkaisuihin.
