AI Thread Summary
A user seeking advice on transferring to a university in Canada after facing academic challenges in the Philippines is exploring options for colleges that facilitate transfers to the University of British Columbia (UBC) or Simon Fraser University (SFU) for a physics program. Recommendations include Capilano University and Douglas College, both of which offer transfer programs. The user is particularly interested in the quality of physics courses at Douglas College and their transferability to UBC or SFU. Additionally, the user mentions plans to reside in Surrey, which may influence their choice of college based on proximity and convenience.

Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts!

I am new here and I want to start by asking a question. My family is migrating to Canada in May and I want to go to college, I am currently a 3rd year Electronics Engineering here in the Philippines. I thought of applying to the University but it seems that I have a low chance of getting in because of what happened to me earlier in my academic life. I got kicked out of the top university in our country(because of academic delinquency. I am so stupid I know). Now, I am planning on applying for college then transferring to a university eventually. So here is the question:in which college do you think I should go if I want to go to UBC or SFU and take up physics, and how long do I need to study in that college so that I can fulfill the admission requirements of both universities?


Thanks!

Capilano university, douglas college. They offer transfer programs. I'm sure you can look to find all of the colleges and then check out their websites. I hear capilano is great.
 
I see that Douglas is in burnaby, is it good?what can you say about its physics courses sir?Can they be transferred to the university? It might be best to say that we are planning to live in Surrey
 
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...
