AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the choice between pursuing a Bachelor of Science (BSc) and a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) degree. Key concerns include employability, with some questioning whether BEng graduates are more sought after than BSc graduates. The BSc program is noted for its more interesting and less math-intensive modules, but it may be perceived as a fallback option due to lower entry requirements. The conversation highlights differences in degree recognition, particularly in Canada, where institutions may offer varying titles for similar programs. Ultimately, the decision hinges on personal interests and career goals.

Hey

Having a little debate if i should change my degree classification?

Are people with a BEng more employable that BSc engineers?

Reason i ask, is that the modules on BSc are more interesting, and less mathmatical, but the entry requirements are less, and they almost offer it as a concelation prize if you don't get on BEng.

Need some help here, as i don't want to make the wrong choice.

Thanks.

I think they are the same. Well in Canada, some school offers Bachelor of Applied Science while another school offers Bachelor of Engineering.
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

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...

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

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...
