Hi, thanks very much for the reply. Any help at this stage is very useful. I think it would be very interesting to spend some real time on courses before starting research, especially with more advanced mechanics / E&M which I doubt I will ever come back to again. Oxford and Imperial both...

Also I've just realized this should really be in career guidance, would someone be kind and move it?

Hi everyone, I am currently trying to decide where to spend the next 4-6 years of life and I thought it would be a good idea to get as much advice / information as possible before making a decision. I'm holding offers for Oxford, Imperial, Caltech and Princeton for high energy / particle...

Hi, I'm looking to apply for theoretical physics PhDs in the coming year and have been recommended getting a little more mathematics under my belt. I have already done a bit of differential geometry in my G.R. course but I don't think it went into enough depth to be useful outside of what we...

Thanks very much for the reply. This place really is a great source of information that is kind of hard to find elsewhere : ) After having a think it seems the most likely course of action will be: Apply to theory groups in physics departments for PhD places, if I manage to get a place I...

I hadn't really thought about doing a masters part time. I've looked into it and the Durham and Imperial courses seem to allow this so that is definitely an option. Thanks : ) How common is it to be asked to take the masters first? A bit of google'ing has suggested that a few of the phd places...

Hi I am going into the 4th year of Physics at Oxford this October and have been looking into PhDs etc. I'm quite keen on going into theoretical physics (Particle or condensed) and from reading various university websites it seems that places for this are relatively scarce. At Oxford for...
