Schools What does this essay topic exactly mean? (university application)

AI Thread Summary
When applying for undergraduate admissions to Pusan National University with a major in Physics, it's essential to address the question about your learning in the field.

I'm applying for Pusan National University (Busan, South Korea) undergraduate admissions and Physics is my choice of major

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc).
