Can I do a PhD in physics after engineering?

[baouba]

Hi

My ultimate goal is to get a PhD in physics but I also love engineering

Can I do both?

Is it easier to switch from physics into engineering or engineering into physics?

I was thinking about getting a degree in engineering (possibly engineering physics) and then going on to do a masters and PhD in physics.

Can I go straight from engineering into physics or would it be easier to go the other way?

I hear any physics student can easily do what an engineer does. Is this true?

Thanks!

I understand but surely I'll have more physics expertise than a person in business and if I take engineering physics it will be all the better..
