From BSc in Computer Science to MSc in Physics and

AI Thread Summary
Completing a computer science degree with First Class honors does not automatically qualify for an MSc in Physics or related specializations like Glaciology or Cosmology. Transitioning to a physics master's program typically requires additional undergraduate physics coursework, which may need to be completed before admission. Pursuing a master's in Canada is a viable option, but prospective students should be prepared for the challenge of fulfilling prerequisite requirements.

hi guys

I completed my computer science degree from http://www.staffs.ac.uk/" with a First Class honours. I figured out that my true passion lies mainly with Physics :(

Can I do an MSc in Physics or any related physics specialization (such as Glaciology, Cosmology)?

I am planning to pursue my masters in Canada.

Thanks and Regards
Mosh

You can, but it'll be very hard without taking a couple years of undergraduate physics courses. A program would probably even require you to take them before allowing you in.

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"...
