Overview

Highlights

Students enrolled in the Physics undergraduate program at Yeditepe University can apply their knowledge in practice through mandatory internships of at least six weeks, facilitated by protocols between TUBITAK National Metrology Institute (UME) and our university or in various sectors. The Graduation Project allows students to develop and present a physics project using all their knowledge and skills, and some projects are published as posters, presentations, or articles.

Career

• Students who receive undergraduate education in the Department of Physics are known as physicists, researchers, or scientists after graduation and can pursue careers in many different fields. Graduates who want to pursue an academic career can obtain the title of academician after continuing their education with master's and doctoral programs. However, they can also work as teachers. Graduates who want to teach physics at the high school level are required to take academic formation during their undergraduate programs. Since physics is a basic science and secondary and higher education are based on this science, graduates can teach both in public schools and private institutions.
• Graduates of the Department of Physics, who can pursue careers in both public and private sectors, undertake tasks such as analyzing existing problems, conducting research using scientific methods such as experiments, and reporting research results. Graduates can work as researchers in the relevant departments of ministries and state institutions such as the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, TÜBİTAK, the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority, the State Institute of Statistics, and the Turkish Standards Institute.
• Physics graduates can also train themselves in different fields. In particular, receiving education in different disciplines related to physics increases career opportunities. Graduates of the Department of Physics can pursue a master's or doctorate degree in fields such as engineering physics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, astronomy and theoretical physics, as well as chemistry and biology. This academic postgraduate education provides an advantage to graduates of the Department of Physics who want to become academicians and work in different sectors.
