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.
 
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...
