    Schools Theoretical Physics University

    Hello forum , so I've ventured to start searching for universities I plan on applying to... (Im still in high school ) and I would like to know what some of the best universities for Theoretical Physics are? How should one plan things out when choosing a University? Apart from Ranking and (ofc...

    Physics-Math double major vs Physics-Engineering for theoretical physics

    Double major in physics and math (: Nice , which second major would improve my skills as a physicist , math seems like the obvious answer but could it be engineering? I understand that taking engineering as a comajor opens up a lot of doors in terms of employment.. Did you being a math-physics...

    Career prospects in theoretical physics and quantum field theory

    Nicce :D alright so I have gist of what I am to do and what not to do but once again I shall ask you whether or not I should major in a certain engineering field alongside physics? but that would mean not majoring math (which I am averse to ) and Yes I shouldn't localize myself to a certain...
