Programs Can you help with questions about a Masters degree? (Quantum Biology)

AI Thread Summary
A fresh graduate in biomedical physics is considering pursuing a master's degree, particularly in Quantum Biology, but is uncertain about the field and how to select a research focus. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding one's interests and goals before choosing a graduate program. It highlights that many master's programs vary significantly in content and expectations, and that a graduate degree should align with a deeper desire for knowledge rather than being an end goal. The individual expresses interest in quantum physics but struggles to grasp the objectives of Quantum Biology, leading to hesitation about committing to this field. Concerns are raised about the lack of clarity regarding the subject matter, questioning the rationale behind pursuing a field without a clear understanding of its aims.

firstly I am a fresh graduate ... I studied biomedical physics and I am intending to get a master degree but I am hesitating about the field that i will study it ..!
I am thinking about the Quantum Biology i need to know your opinion about this and to guide me how to choose the point of research .?!
and do I can get a master degree in physics not biophysics ??

It depends on the programs, what courses you took as an undergrad, and how much you really learned in them.

There are a lot of programs out there with those names that really mean very different things.

Giving good advice requires a lot more information.
 
In addition to what Dr. Courtney said, it seems to me like you're approaching this backwards. It sounds like you want a master's degree and want advice on what you should take it in.

The reason most people pursue a masters degree (or any graduate degree) in the sciences is because they desire an advanced understanding of that subject - more than what they already know. The advanced degree is a means to accomplishing a deeper goal, not the goal itself.

You might want to start by asking yourself what you want to study or do research on. What kind of project would you enjoy?
 
Thank you for your reply Dr. Courtney and Choppy :) .. the problem with is not just i don't know what I want to study .. I am interesting in studying quantum physics but because I am a Biophysicist so it sound good Idea to study Quantum Biology. But when I tried to read about it I didn't understand clearly what the aim of studying this field that is why I am hesitating about this field ..?

I don't understand this at all. You want to go into quantum biology, yet, you don't know what it is. If you don't know what it is, why would you want to go into it?

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...
