I've never heard of a "dual" M.Sc. before. Do you mean that you're M.Sc. is in physics, but crosses over into chemical engineering? Or vice versa? Or do you mean that you're pursuing a B.Sc in chem eng and hoping to get into a physics M.Sc. program?

Either way, I suppose it doesn't matter. I would assume that there would be lots of opportunities for someone with such a background: especially in areas like physical chemisty and materials science. What does your thesis project involve?
