A student of theoretical physics may explore the field through class work, laboratories, lectures and research. The skills they attain can set them up for careers in many industries. Physicists may work with engineers, become educators or research robotics. These and other possibilities are open to the theoretical physics student.

Distance learning is a method of delivering education to students who are not physically present on campus. Various studies have shown that distance learning programmes can be as efficient and effective as conventional classroom programmes sometimes even better!
