Hello everyone.

Im studying theoretical physics in sweden and I would like to go abroad for my last year to take some courses and write my master thesis within the field of quantum gravity.

Do you have any suggestions on where I should try to go?

As there is no research within that field at my university I have a tough time finding a good place I could go to and also a good professor to supervise my thesis, any suggestions on that?

Thanks
Tomas

Why not Uppsala University which has one of Europes best divisions of Theoretical (string theory) physics?

They should be able to help you write thesis in Quantum Gravity for sure! :-)

For Quantum Gravity, String theory isn't the only game in town.

No of course not, but in order to do string theory, "problem" of quantum gravity must be understood
