Physics Careers
Wondering what you can do with a degree in Physics or Physical Oceanography? Here are some in-demand careers that you may not have thought about!
Medical Physics is a branch of healthcare that focuses on things like Ultrasound, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Therapy, and much more. CAMPEP Accredited Graduate-level Medical Physics programs exist in multiple Canadian universities. More info about Medical Physics careers is available from the Canadian Organization of Medical Physicists website.
Meteorologists study the Earth's Atmosphere, particularly - but not exclusively! - focusing on weather forecasting. To join Environment and Climate Change Canada as a Metereologist, members are required to have completed a degree in Meteorology or a degree in Math or Sciences with a certificate in Meteorology, in which a student must have taken at least 10 academic courses in physics and mathematics. These programs exist in many Canadian universities, of which a number require that you have a previous degree in Sciences with a strong math and physics background. More info on meteorological work in Canada can be accessed at the Environment and Climate Change Canada and Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society websites.
