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.

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 .?!

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 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...

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...
