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

AI Thread Summary
Aswin Kumar, a second-year B.Sc. Physics student at Thiagarajar College in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, is interested in pursuing a postgraduate degree in computational physics but is uncertain about the process. The discussion clarifies that "PG" refers to postgraduate studies. To prepare for this path, it is recommended to take programming and computational physics courses to build a strong foundation. This approach will help Aswin determine his eligibility and readiness for a postgraduate program in computational physics.

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
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
