AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the eligibility of pursuing a Master's degree in Physics in the UK for someone holding a BSc Ed in Physics/Mathematics from Brunei. The consensus is that if the BSc Ed includes a sufficient amount of physics coursework comparable to a BSc Physics degree in the UK, admission to an MSc in Physics should be possible. However, the most reliable approach is to directly contact the specific university departments to confirm eligibility and requirements for the MSc programs.

I am currently the holder of BSc Ed (Physics/Mathematics) from my local university in Brunei.. I am interested to pursue my postgraduate (Master) in United Kingdom.. The question is that can I pursue my MSc in Physics or I have to take MEd?
Thanks in advance

Well, I don't really know what a BSc Ed is. I've had a quick search and wiki says it's a bachelor degree in science and education. If this is the case, and your degree includes the equivalent amount of physics to a BSc Physics degree offered in the UK, then I see no reason why you could not be admitted to the MSc Physics degree.

However, the only way you can find out for real is to contact each of the departments to which you intend to apply and ask them first hand.
