Engineering post-graduate degree with physics undergraduate

[orangeIV]

I'm just about to embark on a Physics degree in England, and am just finishing a year long industrial placement at a major oil and gas company. One thing that is particularly noticeable about my workplace is that everyone seems to be an engineer, suggesting that they are infinatley more employable than Physicists. The physics course looks far more appealing than the engineering course at my university. However, I was wondering whether it is possible for scientists to go on to become engineers at post-graduate level should I change my mind.

Yes, it is possible for scientists to go on to become engineers at the post-graduate level. Many universities offer joint degrees in science and engineering, and some even offer dedicated programs designed specifically for individuals who are looking to switch specializations. Depending on your specific field of study, it may also be possible to obtain a graduate certificate or degree in engineering that focuses on a specific area of specialization. Additionally, many employers look favorably on applicants who have a strong academic background in both science and engineering, so pursuing a dual degree may be beneficial for those who are looking to expand their job prospects.
