I just received an acceptance letter from the Nanjing University of Aeronatics and Astronautics in China. They accepted me for their Bachelors in Aeronautical Engineering programme which is taught in English. However, I neither know anything about China nor the university.

My first preference is the National University of Science and Technology in my own country, Pakistan and am waiting their admission decision. However, just to give Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics a fair chance, does anyone know the education quality of the university and of Chinese engineering universities in general? I plan to apply for grad school in the US later. What is the grad school placement of this school? I can't find much information about it online, at least in English.

I don't know anything about them either, I just wanted to say congrats though.

Thank you. :-) .
 
Any helpful advice? Anyone?
 
Rankings should be taken with a pinch of salt, but the QS rankings of universities in Asia puts the National University of Science and Technology at 129, while Nanjing University of Aeronatics and Astronautics is somewhere around 201-250. http://www.topuniversities.com/asian-rankings

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...
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...
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?
