Physics and Mathematics (Mphys/Mmath/Msci) - careers?

AI Thread Summary
With a degree in MPhys or MSci, graduates can explore a variety of career paths beyond teaching and lab research. Potential job opportunities include roles in physics-related fields, finance, accounting, actuarial science, software development, IT, and consulting. The discussion highlights the possibility of working in specialized areas such as robotics and energetics, indicating a broad range of applications for physics graduates. Pursuing a PhD can further enhance career prospects, opening doors to advanced positions in research and development, though the individual expressed a lack of interest in traditional research roles. Overall, the degree offers diverse career options across multiple industries.

I just sent my UCAS application for these degrees. Most probably I will end up with Mphys (maybe Msci), but I will see which universities accept me.

Now my question is: what jobs/ careers can I pursue with this degree? What about this degree plus a PhD?

And that besides teaching careers (I wouldn't like it and it's also quite competitive as I hear). I don't think I would enjoy doing research in a lab either.

What kind of work can I do? Can I work in robotics? Energetics?

There are opportunities in physics related roles, plus finance, accounting, actuarial, software development, IT, consulting, and others too.
