Bsc in Electrical Engineering thinking about Msc physics or mathematics

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a master's degree in physics or mathematics with a bachelor's in Electrical Engineering is considered feasible, especially for someone with a strong foundation in relevant subjects like mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism. The background in mathematics, including linear algebra and differential equations, is also advantageous. Electives such as Real Analysis can further strengthen the application for graduate studies. The educational systems in Denmark, the US, and UK share similarities, which may ease the transition. Overall, transitioning to a master's in these fields is a viable option for interested students.

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:

Thank you very much :)
 
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?
