Programs Engineering Physics and Graduate Degrees

AI Thread Summary
Graduate degrees in Engineering Physics, such as M.Eng and D.Eng, are available at various universities, though offerings can vary significantly. Some institutions allow Engineering Physics students to tailor their studies by selecting courses from related fields like Mechanical Engineering or Chemical Engineering. Many students opt to pursue an additional year for a master's degree in Applied and Engineering Physics or related disciplines, depending on their specific focus within the Engineering Physics major. There are discussions about the challenges of offering graduate degrees specifically in Engineering Physics, which may relate to the interdisciplinary nature of the field and the integration of various engineering principles.

Hello,

I am an Engineering Physics major. Are there graduate engineering degrees offered for engineering physics? For example M.eng and D.eng? At which universities?

Also,

*What is the issue regarding offering graduate degrees with EP?

Thanks,
Jounce

Hello, I am an Engineering Physics major in Cornell University. At C.U, the E.P students pick the classes that they want to focus on more, such as classes focused on MechE, ChemE, etc. Many people usually do one extra year for their masters in Applied and Engineering Physics degree, physics, MechE, ChemE, etc. This is all depended on your focus under the E.P major.
 
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...
