Changing from Electronics to Physics: Advice for Ayyappan

[AypaPhysics]

hi,

I did my B.E. in electronics and communication. I am now working in a Software company for 2 years. I am interested in learning physics. How can i move about changing to physics field from electronics background. I am now refreshing my electronics and communication subjects.

I would be very happy if i could get this dialemma resolved.

thanks in advance

No need to post the same thing in a bunch of forums for a quick response...

Have you considered applying to graduate programs in physics? You would probably have to take some extra courses to catch you up; however, you can apply to phd or masters programs with a similar degree that demonstrates you could probably handle graduate work in that subject.

My advice is to quit work, take some time off and think about what you want to do. When you know what it is that you want to do, do it.

The best thing to do is to see if you could take a course or two in physics from your local university. Many of them have an "Open University" or some similar program where you could take a course or two without a specific degree objective.

If you do well and enjoy the courses, you can then try to plan further moves. If you don't do well or don't enjoy the work, it is better to find out before you have turned your life upside down.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes i would consider applying for graduate programs in physics. But i am from engineering undergraduate. Can i do post graduate in physics field through correspondence. Can i get job after i finish my graduation? Please suggest.

Thanks in advance

I am not sure what you mean my correpsondence but you could apply to a physics program with an engineering degree. I doubt you would have that much trouble finding work with a physics phd.
