AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges faced by an Indian student seeking English-taught Bachelor programs in Physics at European research institutes. The Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen is highlighted as a research institute that does not offer undergraduate degrees. It is noted that most Bachelor programs in the EU, outside the UK, are typically conducted in the local language, with few exceptions in English. Recommendations include the University of Leipzig, which offers an English-taught program, and Jacobs University in Bremen, although the latter may be costly without a scholarship. The student expresses interest in Jacobs University as a suitable option and considers learning the local language, acknowledging that Physics may require less language proficiency compared to other fields.

I'm an Indian student who is interested in pursuing a life and career in Physics. Recently, I was browsing through the site of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. But I was disappointed to know what they don't offer Bachelor level courses in English language!

So I'd like to know of such national research institutes in Europe that offer excellent opportunities, teach in English and are light on the purse. Tough combo, but is there any?

Thanks in advance! :)

1. Niels Bohr institute is a research institute and not a degree awarding body.

2. Most bachelor programmes in the EU outside the UK are held in the native language of the country where the university is located, only few are in English.

3. See

I remember reading here in the forum that there is a bachelor programme offered in English at the university of Leipzig (http://www.uni-leipzig.de/~intphys/index.html ). There is also Jacobs university in Bremen, but its not affordable without a scholarship.

Yeah, NBI awards a degree under the University of Copenhagen. Thanks for the help! Will check and post back.
 
So I have singled out Jacobs University in Bremen, Germany. It fits in all of my needs! Thanks physiker 192!

Just crossing my fingers for a scholarship!

If going abroad for 3+ years is may not be completely inappropriate to learn the language of the country, anyways. Physics is possibly one of the least demanding fields in terms of language skills.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
