Hi there, I am currently trying to decide where to go for my M.Sc. degree. I have to decide between the Intercollegiate Program at London, I was accepted at Queen Mary Univ. London, and the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy.

My main interests are Quantum Field Theory and Physics beyond the Standard Model.

Which one would you recommend to go and what are the reasons?

Sorry, I know nothing about those institutions. Could I ask what were your reasons for applying to them in the first place? Also what level are you now - have you been accepted for the undergrad 4-year masters course, or have you already got the BSc?
