SUMMARY

A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (EE) provides a solid foundation for pursuing a Master’s degree in either Physics or Mathematics. The individual has completed coursework in mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, linear algebra, analysis, statistics, and differential equations, which aligns well with the prerequisites for graduate studies in these fields. Electives such as Real Analysis further enhance their qualifications. The educational systems in Denmark, the US, and the UK share similarities, facilitating the transition to a Master’s program.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of core Electrical Engineering concepts
  • Knowledge of mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism
  • Familiarity with advanced mathematics including linear algebra and differential equations
  • Exposure to Real Analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Master’s programs in Physics and Mathematics that accept Electrical Engineering graduates
  • Explore advanced topics in Astrophysics to align interests with academic goals
  • Investigate elective courses in Real Analysis and their impact on graduate applications
  • Connect with academic advisors or faculty in Physics and Mathematics departments for guidance
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate students in Electrical Engineering considering graduate studies in Physics or Mathematics, academic advisors, and anyone interested in interdisciplinary education pathways.

Hello, this question may have been asked a lot of times, and I'm sorry if it bothers you, but oh well..

I am in my 2nd year of Electrical Engineering undergraduate, got 1 year left. I have always been very interested in physics (particularly astrophysics) and mathematics . Do you think it is possible/feasible/sane to get a masters in one of these two fields with a bachelors in EE? As of physics I've had mechanics, thermodynamics and electromagnetism. In Math I've had all that is required for EE (linear algebra, analysis, statistics, differential equations...), and I'm thinking about using my electives to take a course in Real analysis.

And oh, I live and study in Denmark, but I think the educational system is somewhat similar to that in the US or UK.

Thanks for your help :smile:
