Edinburgh theoretical physics msc

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the MSc in Theoretical Physics at the University of Edinburgh and its comparison with the MSc in Particle Physics, Strings, and Cosmology (PSC) at Durham University. Participants express concerns about the lack of information regarding the Edinburgh program, which is new, while highlighting the established reputation of the Durham program. One participant, after consulting their professors, decided to enroll in the MSc at Durham due to its superior faculty. The conversation suggests contacting the Edinburgh physics department for a detailed curriculum to facilitate comparisons.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of postgraduate degree structures in physics
  • Familiarity with particle theory and cosmology concepts
  • Knowledge of university ranking and reputation metrics
  • Ability to evaluate academic programs based on curriculum details
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the curriculum for the MSc in Theoretical Physics at the University of Edinburgh
  • Compare the MSc in Particle Physics, Strings, and Cosmology at Durham University
  • Contact the physics departments of both universities for detailed program insights
  • Investigate faculty qualifications and research opportunities at both institutions
USEFUL FOR

Prospective graduate students in theoretical physics, academic advisors, and anyone evaluating postgraduate programs in particle theory and cosmology.

Hi, I'm really into particle theory and I applied for msc particles, strings and cosmology in Durham and msc of theoretical physics in Edinburgh. I know the msc in Durham is a really good one. However, since the msc in Edinburgh is a new one there is little information about it. It will be great if someone tell me something about this msc and give me some advice on these two programs. Thanks!

Is there a curriculum posted for Edinburgh? Ideally, one could compare curricula.

Unless someone has attended both universities, it might be difficult to compare programs.

Perhaps, one can contact the department of physics and ask for a curriculum with which to compare with the program at Durham.
 
Greetings .

I am on exactly the same path , I applied to Edinburgh and to Durham and was accepted at both .
Consulting my professors from my bachelor I was informed that the University of Durham has an outstandingly better team, and therefore I decided to go for the MSc at Durham ( the PSC one ) .

Not offering any great piece of advice , I know , Just telling you what I am doing , being in the same spot that you are.

Thanks for sharing Marios. There 's a good chance we will meet at Durham.
