Schools Civil Engineering @ University of Miami

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around two academic options: a BSc in Physics with Medical Applications at King's College, University of London, and a double major in Physics and Civil Engineering at the University of Miami. The first option is a three-year program, while the second takes four years, with both being financially equivalent due to EU coverage and a Fulbright scholarship. Participants highlight the importance of personal preference regarding career paths, noting the distinct differences between medical applications and civil engineering. There are concerns about job prospects with just a physics degree, leading to suggestions that pairing physics with civil engineering may enhance employability. The conversation emphasizes the need to consider future educational goals and career aspirations when making a decision.

What do you think?

A. BSc in Physics with Medical applications@Kings College, University of London

or

B. Double Major Physics with Civil Engineering @ University of Miami (FL)

Note option B takes 4 years while option A 3. Both options are identical financially because expenses are covered by the EU for A. and I have a Fulbright scholarship for B.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Depends where you want to live for 3/4 years :smile:

And, mixing physics with CE seems a bit strange... :confused:
 
And which do you prefer doing: medical applications or civil engineering? They're rather different fields! :confused:
 
what would you suggest as a good major to pair up with physics? I've been advised to do civil engineering since i might have problems in finding a job with just physics
 
It depends on how far you want to take your education, what type of career you want, etc.
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
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...
