Cannot find Theoretical Physics course in my country

AI Thread Summary
Living in Malaysia with a UEC certificate presents challenges in pursuing higher education, particularly in theoretical physics, as local universities and those in Singapore do not accept this qualification. The only option appears to be a national university in Malaysia, which may not align with the desired specialization. Despite financial constraints preventing overseas study, pursuing a bachelor's degree in physics remains a viable path. At the undergraduate level, specialization is limited, and students often explore various areas within physics before deciding on a focus. An undergraduate degree in physics can provide the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to pursue a career in theoretical physics or other related fields, keeping future opportunities open.

live in malaysia and holding an UEC certificate, which our national university won't accept.And I can't find any university in my country and Singapore, axcept nation university in Malaysia,offer the theoretical physics couses and my family cannot afford the cost to study oversea.Should I just give up my ambition and study bachelor in physics?Sorry for the bad english.

It is a bit unclear from your English, but as I understand it you have the option of getting a bachelor in physics? Now I do not know the system where you live, but at the bachelor level there usually is not much specialisation, such as dividing theoretical physics and physics.
 
At the undergraduate level it's generally better not to specialize too much. If you think you want to go into theoretical physics at this point, that's great, but you don't want to specialize so much that you close other doors. I think a lot of people start out in undergraduate physics wanting to go into something theoretical, but then as they learn about the problems being worked on in other areas and the opportunities they come with their interests can sometimes change.

An undergraduate degree in physics will get you where you want to go.
 
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.
