- computational and data-processing skills
- data analysis using a range of appropriate statistical methods and packages
- identify and predict trends and patterns
- problem solving skills
- report writing

Other solid careers for physics graduates include:
- aerospace engineering
- energy and power provision
- environmental consultancy
- manufacturing (including computers, electronics, medical equipment)
- medical technologies
- patent work
- research and development
- scientific publishing
- telecommunications
