I am a second year M.Sc. Physics student in an Indian university, I am highly motivated to pursue a carrier in theoretical high energy physics. I am willing to get a Ph.D. from a European university(as they have 3 year Ph.D. programs, unlike a 5 year program here in India and US). But the...

Hello everyone, My first post, will be asking a of some traveling advise. I want to spend a week in some country of Europe, but not just any country, I would love to hear if anyone knows of a country (and of course a city) where you can really explore physics in general, either by going to...

Hello everyone, This is my first post! :) I want to ask you about the pros and cons of doing a PhD in Astrophysics in Europe or USA. First, I'm going to talk about my current situation. I got my bachelor's degree in physics two months ago, at University of Antioquia, Colombia. I have some...

I really want to know how the prospects for having a job in Europe are at this moment. If anybody knows about some info about England I'd be glad. Is having the equivalent of a master from a well known russian university enough for having a decent job in europe or anywhere else?

As far as I know, EU laws and regulations make such migration fairly easy. I believe the unemployed from one member state need not have a job offer in another member state in order to relocate there. Is this correct? Can they apply for benefits in their new location? Do member states have any...

I'll be applying for graduate studies(M.S) in Physics in a couple of years, so I would like to know the best universities in Europe but NOT UK as I cannot afford it. The reason I'm asking this now is because I will be learning the language of the country I decide to go to - even if they have...

I've been applying to work at various high schools in California and hoping to get a temporary permit because I'm not actually certificated. This makes me wonder something, however, especially considering that thread that came up about why the US educational system sucks. What does one need...

I'm an undergrad at an Ivy League school with very good grades and a lot of research experience. I want to go to grad school in Europe: England (Oxford, Cambridge obviously), Italy(I speak Italian), or Scandinavia (or anywhere where english is spoken in the physics world). I know in the US...

In terms of culture, politics etc...I think many Americans have this idea that Canada is some sort of Europeanized country but to me, it seems that Canada is much more similar to the U.S. Maybe Quebec is an exception but certainly no can argue that Alberta is like Europe! I live in Canada but...

Hello. Currently I live in Canada but I want to move to Europe. My family lives in Netherlands and it is really a beautiful country. Would it be fun to live there? How different is it from Canada?
