Fields Graduate Undergraduate

AI Thread Summary

It is possible to obtain a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering or materials science and then pursue graduate studies in nuclear engineering. Acceptance into a graduate program typically depends on the specific institution's policies and their willingness to consider candidates from different engineering backgrounds. Each university may have different prerequisites or requirements for admission into their nuclear engineering programs, so prospective students should research individual institutions to understand their criteria.

Is it possible for me to get a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering or materials science, then go to graduate school from there to study nuclear engineering, or do you have to stay in the same engineering field throughout the entire period of study?

Depends on the institution and if they are willing to accept you or not.

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
