Top European Physics Schools for Industrial Engineering Grad Programs

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on identifying suitable European universities for pursuing graduate programs in physics, specifically for an applicant with a background in Industrial Engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Trichy, India. The applicant has a GPA of 3.7/4, two journal articles in physics, and several projects related to general relativity and quantum mechanics. They are seeking recommendations for second-tier European physics schools, as well as additional US universities where they may have a competitive chance based on their projected PGRE score of 850-900.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of graduate program admission criteria in physics
  • Familiarity with European university ranking systems
  • Knowledge of the Physics Graduate Record Examination (PGRE)
  • Basic understanding of research publication processes in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research European universities with strong physics programs, such as ETH Zurich and University of Cambridge
  • Explore the application processes for graduate programs in physics at European institutions
  • Learn about the Physics Graduate Record Examination (PGRE) preparation strategies
  • Investigate funding opportunities and scholarships for international students in European physics programs
USEFUL FOR

Prospective graduate students in physics, particularly those with a background in engineering or related fields, and anyone seeking to understand the landscape of European physics education and admission processes.

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
 
Physics news on Phys.org
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
