So what you are saying is, I will be a guinea pig for Porto to test if a student from my university is capable of doing the masters. Which can go wrong since I might not be prepared for it. Is that right? Well, I have been independently studying and following the rest of the undergraduate...

I already discussed with one teacher from the physics department and he said in principle I would be able to enroll in the physics masters in Porto, however I would need to independently study some subjects, which I'm fine with, anyways thanks for the advice! However I still don't know how much...

Here it is. There's two missing courses, as the university hasn't updated yet, they are Electromagnetism (second year) and Quantum Mechanics (3rd year). Edit: Don't worry if it the description is portuguese, at end of the page there's the curriculum in English. Edit 2: this is the curriculum...

Hello! This a continuation from this thread. (Note: I continued to study physics independently until now). I had some good news and the university where I'm doing my bachelor in math is gonna open a bachelor in Engineering Physics next letive year (here, where I live, in September). I'm liking...

Interesting, I always thought only physicists would be prepared well enough for it, principally the condensed matter physics ones. The reasons are explained on the other thread. However since that's a lot to read, I will give a brief summary. I was on the physics program in University of Porto...

I know that. However as Vanadium50 said, having an high PGRE would not be enough and will leave me awful prepared to the physics masters, thus the books mentioned. In the country where I live (Portugal), the only programs that leads through quantum information are physics programs, however if I...

I can always hop to the plan B if it interferes with my grades in the math major. If I’m seeing I’m exceeding my limits, that would be the healthiest thing to do. No. Actually I do not and I was considering making a question about that. So if you could help me to figure that one out, that would...

Even if I don’t have the ability, I do have time and I could always try. I didn’t have A’s due to mental health issues and the type of life I lived. Obviously I know my limits. I’m not falling to the Dunning-Krueger effect on this one. If I were I wouldn’t even put the coursework I did nor the...

First of all, thank for the response! I have been reading and accepting Vanadium50 advice. Having a more experienced person to talk to you and advise you is always good, same goes this opinion of yours, that's why I'm here in the first place. 1) That's something I do acknowledge. I do know I...

Maybe I gave the idea I wanted to ace my PGRE, but that's not the case. I will try the best to my capabilities, furthermost I want to take the PGRE in 3 years, before I finish my math major. It's true that I don't remember some classes, but like I said I can revise and see the coursework...

I just wanted to add, that I contacted the school where I want to do my masters on physics, and yes you were right about doing a math degree and not be accepted. However I do have good news, they said with a good enough GRE Physics score I would enter along my major in math AND with the credits...

Sure. I was expecting that. I do know what you are trying to say, however new considerations came through. Can I go into mathematical physics on my PhD for example, since that is mostly math? Can I focus on quantum computing and do a masters or PhD related to it with a math major (I can take...

Hello! This is a continuation thread from this one, but the question is different from the one I purposed that time, thus I'm creating a new thread. I will enter in details in what credits I do have, also the title is self-explanatory. I have done credits and this courses (I will also give the...

Yes it would. In fact, taking a major in math would reduce my physics bachelor to 2 years, instead of the conventional 3. After reflecting about what Vanadium 50 said, taking the math major is surely not the most optimal thing to do. However, I will also have some credits to be transferable from...

Thanks for the info! What would be a more realistic plan?
