How does a BSc in Physics compare to a MPhys when it comes to career prospects? I don't want to do a Phd so I have no reason to do a MPhys fro that reason alone. I live in the UK by the way.

Hi, I want to study physics, but I don't know how to start. I have a degree in economics, and I've been told that applying for a Bsc in physics would be a waste of money, I should apply for an Msc instead with a qualifying year added. Is this really possible? I can only do part-time courses...

How difficult would this be? I'm planning on taking all of the related classes for my upper-division electives (Nuclear Physics, Particle Physics, etc) but I want to make sure that this is possible before I completely commit to it. Also, for those who are in / done with grad school: is it...

My Bachelors in Physics is starting up next year, and I'm (already) thinking about graduate programs to pursue afterwards. This might seem premature, but I'm several years older than most B.sc students, have spent some years in the workforce, as well as previous uni, so I like to look ahead and...

I am currently in the 2nd year of an Aerospace Engineering BSc, but have become so disappointed with the study that I am considering quitting and doing what I had strongly considered two years ago, physics. It is mainly the engineering mentality that bothered me, i.e. how do we apply it, how it...

I am unsure there is any thread similar to this. Today in morning I was making a thread but I can not find it. Anyway, When I enrolled to CSE I was crazy about it but gradually I found myself in love of Math and I also found I am actually not good in CSE but in Math. I read in the best uni of my...

Hi all, :smile: I was just wondering if anyone had any idea about the options available in grad school for a physics undergrad. For example, would one be able to segue into chemistry or geology or some kind of Earth/environmental sciences? The reason I ask is that I'm getting more and more...

I had been talking to my seniors about applying to colleges once one is done with a BSc. In India, BSc degrees are only for 3 years, and I've heard that many colleges in US do not accept 3 year degrees when applying for masters, but only 4. I have also heard that since certain colleges offer BSc...
