Master in Physics: UK Guide for BSc CS Graduate

In summary, a 29-year-old man from India with a BSc in computer science is interested in pursuing a master's degree in physics or engineering in the UK. However, he did not have any physics courses in his undergraduate program. It may be possible for him to do a master's in physics, but he may need to take additional physics courses for a year or more. He is advised to speak to the program director at his university for more details and to check the prerequisites for the specific master's program he is interested in.

You have a Bsc in Computer Science and had no physics at all? :s

Maybe you'll be able to get a master in physics but you'll probably need to do a year of only physics courses. If you want more details ask the programdirector of the master in physics at your university.

You'll have to ask someone of the physics department at your university. In your case my guess would be a year-year and half.

As eXorikos said, look at the prerequisites of the master program you are interested in and talk to the program coordinator. There is no simple catch-all answer.
