Programs Can you do an M.A degree in quantum physics if you had a degree in Mech. Eng. ?

AI Thread Summary
A degree in mechanical engineering does not automatically qualify an individual for a Master's in quantum physics, as the transition depends more on the individual's ability to grasp the new field rather than their previous qualifications. While there may be some overlap in mathematical concepts, the foundational knowledge and skills required for quantum physics are distinct from those in mechanical engineering. The discussion emphasizes that success in quantum physics relies on the learner's aptitude and readiness to engage with the complexities of the subject, rather than solely on their prior educational background.

If you have a degree in mechanical engineering, can you do an M.A in quantum physics? is it about your previous certificate? or simply your ability to handle the following field?

oh ok, but in your opinion, would mechanical engineering aid you with any background that will benefit you for quantum physics?

Other than the possibility of having similar math in some aspects, no.

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
