Can I Pursue a PG in Computational Physics After a B.Sc. in Physics?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the possibility of pursuing a postgraduate degree in computational physics after completing a Bachelor of Science in Physics. It includes inquiries about the prerequisites and pathways to enter such a program, as well as the relevance of programming skills.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Aswin Kumar expresses interest in pursuing a PG in computational physics but is uncertain about eligibility and the process to apply.
  • Some participants suggest that taking programming and computational physics courses could be beneficial for Aswin's aspirations.
  • There is clarification on the abbreviation "PG," which some participants interpret as "postgraduate."

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the importance of programming skills for computational physics, but there is no consensus on specific pathways or requirements for admission into postgraduate programs.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not address specific admission criteria for postgraduate programs in computational physics or the necessary qualifications beyond interest in the field.

Who May Find This Useful

Students considering postgraduate studies in computational physics or related fields, particularly those with a background in physics and an interest in programming.

I am Aswin Kumar

I am studying in 2nd year of my UG(B.sc.,) in Physics in Thiagarajar college, Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India.

I have interest in coding and programming. I wish to do my PG in computational physics. But I don't know whether I can do it or not? Please kindly tell me that. If yes, please tell me what is the way to join in that course?

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

What is a PG?
 
I'm guessing "postgrad". If you have interest in computational physics, take some programming courses and computational physics courses, and then go from there.
 
PG: Post Graduate
