Analysis on the Employment Direction and Prospect of Physics Postgraduates

Analysis on the employment direction and prospect of physics postgraduates;

Physics employment is the same as most basic majors, mainly engaged in teaching and research and related scientific research management in universities, national defense departments and scientific research institutions. There are many physics-related research institutes in China, such as Institute of High Energy Physics, Institute of Theoretical Physics, Institute of Modern Physics, Institute of Plasma Physics and National Space Science Center. These are good places for physics graduates to further their studies and find jobs.

It is reported that the employment rate of physics major is not high, and the correlation between jobs and majors of graduates after half a year is only 37%. This is probably related to the employment characteristics of most basic disciplines. Because not everyone who studies physics can become a physicist or engage in scientific research. Although on the surface, there are few industries directly related to physics, in fact, graduates majoring in physics have a wide range of employment. Many physics-based disciplines are full of graduates, such as information, energy, aerospace, military industry, materials, transportation, economics, life sciences and so on.
