Computer vision engineer looking for career change into physics

[simba]

I am a computer science graduate working in computer vision , remote sensing field for a private company. Been studying physics on my own for curiosity(A levels, H&R books, feynman essentials) . I developed interest in physics few years back and I have been searching for ways to convert my career into physics. My interests and choices are in Earth
& planetary science and computational physics. I have done physics in my higher secondary school and I didn't have any courses in my bachelors. If I do online courses on physics subjects in online university, would it help me land at any master's at universities? Do universities consider it? Does it add any value while applying for the university?
Or can I study and try to score good marks in GRE physics to add value to my profile while applying for universities? I am looking for universities in Europe especially in Germany and Netherlands.
Please advice me.

Universities are typically looking for credentials equivalent to a bachelor in physics as a requirement to enter most master programs in physics. However, this may vary from program to program. You may want to look into the actual admission requirements for a number of different programs you would be interested in.

The admissions requirements of graduate programs will depend on the university. You should search them out on the net and contact them directly. It will also depend on a prof being willing to be your faculty adviser. If you can't get a prof to let you into his/her research program you will have a lot of difficulty. You should be searching out profs in areas you are interested in and contacting them directly to ask if they might have room for you.

Also, you should carefully evaluate your financial situation. Most universities want you to work full time on your degree, with possibly around 10 hours per week maximum working at some job. So you will need to have saved enough to pay your living expenses during the degree, plus tuition, books, fees, etc.

Thanks to both of you. I have taken my consideration about your advice. So I infer that as long as university is willing to admit me and provide some support with the extra physics courses, I can join?
