Top European Physics Schools for Industrial Engineering Grad Programs

In summary, some of the top universities for graduate studies in Europe include the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, ETH Zurich, and University College London. The length of graduate programs in Europe can vary, with most master's programs taking 1-2 years and doctoral programs taking 3-5 years. The language requirements for attending grad school in Europe depend on the university and country, with some offering English-taught programs and others requiring proficiency in the local language. International students can receive funding for graduate studies in Europe through scholarships and other opportunities, but it is important to research and apply for these early on. The application process for graduate studies in Europe typically involves submitting a CV, personal statement, letters of recommendation, transcripts, and possibly

There are huge resources to rank and rate the different universities for physics in US but i am blind as to what universities i can apply outside US preferably Europe. with the profile i have i don't think i have any shot in top schools and can aim only for 2nd tier schools

My profile as of now -
Industrial Engineering in India (National Institute of Technology, trichy) Top 5 in india

Over all GPA now in indian system = 7.2/10 (which converts to around 3.7/4)
2 Journal articles in physics (general relativity)
4 Projects in physics (2 summer and 2 winter projects) (general relativity and Quantum mechanics)
1 Statistical Math Project
1 project to mathematically model product life cycle (used physics model for solving industrial engineering problems)
1 conference (this summer)
1 Lecture course by Prof michael berry (this summer)


Gre yet to take

Can you recommend some good europian physics schools that i have a chance, so that i could add them to the list.

My list as of now has

University at Buffalo, SUNY
Univ of Pittsburgh
U Wisconsin-Madison
SUNY-Stony Brook
North Carolina State Univ

What's your predicted PGRE score?

I am quite good in problem solving and PGRE as i sampled few questions, is almost same level as my undergrad entrance exam which i fared well

so most probably some where around 850-900 ?

and would be really helpful if you could recommend any other US universities i have good shot at.
thanks a ton in advance ! :D

I would first like to commend you for your dedication and hard work in your academic pursuits. Your profile is impressive and shows a strong interest and aptitude in physics. It is understandable that you may feel limited in your options for top schools outside of the US, but I would like to encourage you to not sell yourself short. With your background and achievements, you may have a chance at some of the top European physics schools.

Some of the top European physics schools for industrial engineering graduate programs include ETH Zurich (Switzerland), Technical University of Munich (Germany), and Imperial College London (UK). These schools have strong reputations in both physics and engineering, which may be a good fit for your background in industrial engineering. Other top schools to consider are KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), University College London (UK), and Technical University of Denmark (Denmark).

I would also recommend researching the specific programs and faculty at each of these schools to see which aligns best with your research interests and goals. It is important to not only consider the overall ranking of a school, but also the specific resources and opportunities available within the program.

Additionally, I would suggest reaching out to current students or alumni from these programs to gain insight into their experiences and any advice they may have for someone in your position. Networking and building connections can also be helpful in the graduate school application process.

Overall, do not let your perception of your chances limit your options and potential. With your strong academic background and achievements, I believe you have a chance at some of the top European physics schools. Best of luck in your search and application process.
