AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a bachelor's in physics is recommended for those interested in independent research in the field, particularly in areas like the standard model of physics, which includes matter, antimatter, and quarks. Engaging with professors for research opportunities is crucial, as significant results in independent research are unlikely without a solid foundation in physics. Transitioning from computer science to physics may involve a delay, but it can lead to a more fulfilling career if physics is the true interest. Starting with a BS in physics provides essential knowledge and skills necessary for advanced study and research.

HI there...

I am currently doing my bachelors in computer sciences, for the first two semesters i was taught physics but it was more like that from previous levels just a bit advanced...

I want to study further and do independent research but where to start from?

I have heard about courses on standard model of physics (because matter, antimatter, atoms, quarks, QCD and related maths of these subjects interest me), so what should i do now to carry on?

Please Pleeeeez help me...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Then go for physics. Its like a year's delay from taking com sci to a lifetime of fulfillment. That is if you really want physics. Having significant results by doing independent research without even finishing undergrad in physics is unlikely.
 
Try to get involved in a professor's research. Contact them and see if they need a hand. LOL @ trying to do independent research with only two semesters of physics lectures. Give your head a shake.

Starting from a BS. in Physics is a good choice, in my opinion. Because it gives you the very basics of what you really need to know for research.
 

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

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...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

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...
