Can anyone advise on the strength of modelling/theory groups in the UK

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on pursuing a PhD in computational modeling after completing an MPhys, emphasizing the desire for a program that spans multiple branches of Physics rather than focusing narrowly on a specific area like Cosmology. The individual has received an offer from the Southampton ICSS, known for its complexity modeling and strong funding, but is seeking additional options for comparison. A suggestion is made to consider the Imperial College London (ICL) program in theory and simulation of materials, which aligns with the individual's interests in broadening their skills for potential interdisciplinary applications, including engineering.

I am in the fourth year of an MPhys and feel a PhD is the best way to further myself.
I want to apply to groups that specialize in the theory and implementation of computational modelling. I would prefer this to be a group with a wide range across several branches of Physics as opposed to a specialist group on say Cosmology. The reason is that I don't want to end up with many skills in modelling which is my first love, but no ability to cross departments into say engineering if that sparked my interest.

I have an offer from the Southampton ICSS (complexity modelling group) and they are ideal as they cover many basis and have great funding, but I am looking for others to compare with.

Thank's for taking the time to read:

Look into ICL's theory & simulation of materials DTC, from what I've read about it, I think you'd be quite interested.
 

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
