Schools Getting into MSc Physics programme in European university

AI Thread Summary
Admission to MSc Physics programs at top European universities can be competitive, but if you have strong academic performance and can self-fund your education, the process may be more straightforward. Research experience is generally not a requirement for admission, particularly in British universities. Prospective students should directly contact their chosen universities to understand specific application requirements. Achieving high grades, such as a first or upper second-class degree (2(i)), is important for a successful application. Understanding the grading system is essential for those unfamiliar with it.

Hello
I'm doing BSc in Physics from Pune University in India and will pass with very good grades. I want to know how competitive is admission for MSc Physics programme in top European universities. Is it very tough to get into top universities? What do they look for in the application to give admit? I don't have any research experience. I can fund my education.

And yes, thanks in advance :-)
 
If you are not looking for a scholarship and can pay the tuition yourself, then I would expect it to be relatively simple. Just contact a university that you like and ask them what is required.
 
Research experience is not a requirement in British universities. As you can fund your education, and expect very good grades, I can't envisage any problem at all in finding a place! I assume by expecting "very good grades" you expect to get a first, or at least a 2(i). You will probably need at least a 2(ii)... If you don't know what is meant by first, 2(i) or 2(ii) you need to learn more about the British university system...
 
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...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
