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.
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
