Entering my 4th year of physics at University of Toronto, the time has come to look at graduate school...
I've just come across http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/theoreticalphysics/postgraduatestudy/mastersdegree", at Imperial College London, titled "MSc in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces". Its subject matter certainly looks good.
Does anyone know anything about this program? Is it good? Prestigious? I don't yet know what field I'm looking for a career in yet, just that it had better include quantum theory. I am leaning toward a career in theoretical physics, however even if I go the experimental way, I want a good theoretical grounding that comes with course work. I don't like a lot of experimental PhD programs I see since many don't seem to offer much good coursework. Honestly, I can't see how 4 years of undergrad at U. Toronto could be sufficient preparation for a serious career in research if one goes straight into a research-based grad program.
