Physics

Overview

Physics from Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) offered forms the foundation for further specialisation in specific subject areas. You can specialise in one of the following five areas:

• Astrophysics: You will learn more about the physics of stars, the solar system and even exoplanets.

• Atmospheric Physics and Climate: In this subject area, you will focus on the Earth's climate system and how to measure and model atmospheric dynamics.

• Experimental Physics: You will explore applications ranging from nanooptics and biophysics to novel quantum materials and atomic processes on surfaces more deeply.

• Space Physics and Aeronomy: You will learn about the physics of extra-terrestrial atmospheres and magnetospheres and their experimental observation.

• Theoretical and Computational Physics: In this subject area, you learn more about the theoretical description and computer simulation of elementary particles and nanomaterials.

It is also possible to develop individual, in-depth modules with the guidance of a mentor.

Careers

Physicists work as highly qualified specialists in scientific, economic and industrial fields.

Graduates are highly qualified to work in a wide range of interdisciplinary professional fields both in Austria and abroad:

• You work in public and private research and educational institutions in physical-technical fields.

• You participate in large, international research collaborations.

• You work in modelling and simulation in scientific, technical and economic fields.

• You develop algorithms in a wide range of different fields.

• You work in and lead research and development departments in various industrial sectors, and especially in high-tech industry.

• You hold management positions in administration and logistics.
