Programs Can You Pursue a Masters in Physics Without a Physics Undergraduate Degree?

AI Thread Summary
Finding a Master's program in physics for individuals without an undergraduate degree in physics is challenging. Most programs require a solid foundation in physics, typically gained through prior coursework. While some students transition from engineering or mathematics backgrounds, they still need significant physics knowledge to succeed in graduate-level courses. For those seriously considering a career in physics, switching majors may be a more viable option to build the necessary foundation.

Hello,

I am currently enrolled in an undergraduate veterinary medicine course, I would like to know which university has a Masters program in physics that cater to people without physics as an undergraduate degree?

Thanks

I think you'll have a hard time finding a program that will accept you into a physics graduate program without a physics background. I know that people have made the jump from engineering or math, but even then, they need a substantial foundation in physics before they can tackle any of the advanced courses given at the graduate level.

If you're really serious about pursuing physics, you will probably want to look into switching majors.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
