AI Thread Summary
For undergraduate physics students interested in pursuing research in gravity, general relativity, and black holes, focusing on universities with strong cosmology programs is essential. Recommendations include the University of Minnesota, which has both theoretical and experimental cosmology groups, and the University of Michigan, noted for its cosmology research. Additionally, the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Germany is highlighted as a valuable option for further studies. Prospective students are encouraged to explore the websites of these institutions for more information on their programs and research opportunities.

Hello from Greece. I am undergraduate physics student in Aristotle university. I am interested in research in gravity, general relativity, black holes etc.
Which university do you suggest me for post graduate studies, phd etc??

Thank you!

If you're into gravity, GR, and black holes, then the field you're interested in is cosmology, so you'll want to find a university with a good cosmology group. I did my undergrad at the University of Minnesota, and I know that they have both theoretical and experimental groups in cosmology, so that's one place to look. I also have a friend who does cosmology at University of Michigan, so perhaps you should look at their website too.

Just a couple of suggestions. There are plenty of other schools in the US that do cosmology research.
 
...and in other countries.
 
Thank you, i will start searching the websites of these universities and we will see..
 
Also, the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Germany might be worth looking at: http://www.aei.mpg.de/english/contemporaryIssues/home/index.php

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
