    Testing Physics GRE or Math GRE for theoretical physics?

    Nice one, thanks very much Vanadium 50 and CrysPhys. I'll go for the physics GRE for definite then. Ta

    Testing Physics GRE or Math GRE for theoretical physics?

    Many thanks for your quick response. Yes, but not in the same 'testing period', and if applications/admissions to graduate studies are similar in the US and UK, the timescales do not necessarily overlap much in applying for graduate studies. (This is a fault on my part, in the sense that I need...

    Testing Physics GRE or Math GRE for theoretical physics?

    I'm a student from the UK, completing a degree in theoretical physics. I'm interested in pursuing graduate opportunities in both the UK and the US. Of course, I am much more familiar with the 'UK standard' for graduate studies, in that the areas I want to pursue can fall into either the maths...

    Programs Transferring to a physics degree [UK]?

    Many thanks for the suggestion, I'll look up the K&K and Feynman lectures stuff presently. I also have a few texts lying around that may be of relevance. Many thanks.

    Programs Transferring to a physics degree [UK]?

    Okay. Well, I'll send my tutor an email to see if it is possible to take any extra modules in physics in the seconds semester, and I'll see if these feelings continue or subside, if they continue, I'll know what to do and apply for a transfer of degree (this can only be done at the end of the...

    Programs Transferring to a physics degree [UK]?

    Well most of the maths modules are very similar, and the same with some of the more physics based. However, they don't overlap exactly with content, and (as would be expected) the physics for physics students is done to a much greater level. There is not really an official designated time in...

    Programs Transferring to a physics degree [UK]?

    Sadly, it isn't quite that simple in the UK, as I'm not studying in a major-minor type degree (most degrees here are subject specific all the way through). I'll see if there are any specifically physics based modules I may be able to take on top of my degree. But I have no individual module...

    Programs Transferring to a physics degree [UK]?

    Sorry, I meant that I don't have as much interest in using these principals to further human technology. The 'rather' bit of the sentence actually referred to the entire remainder of that paragraph. I should have worded this more carefully

    Programs Transferring to a physics degree [UK]?

    I have just completed the first semester at university (in the UK) for aerospace engineering. However, given the time off I have had recently for the Christmas break, I have had time to think much about my current studies. I am really starting to think my interest lies behind understanding the...
