Hello am currently an undergraduate student. My major is CSE. But I am very much interested to do my masters and then PhD in theoretical physics/mathematical physics. Is there any university that admits CS graduates for these courses?

I have looked up some universities that offer these courses. Queen Mary University, University of Edinburgh and Durham University sounds perfect to me (I can meet their minimum requirements).

I have targeted Queen Mary as my main choice. My question is how good is their course? And also their reputation in the international community ( academic of course)?

I actually wanted to look for some universities at the US as their requirements are more flexible but could not find any university that offers this course for masters.
Would you suggest some Universities both in the US and Germany that do? Would any university admit me directly for taught masters? Will having research paper help?

And another thing is I do not need a top rank university. I just need a good university with a strong faculty and good reputation. Ranking does not matter.

Thank you all.

As for admissions requirements, many of these universities require applicants to have a bachelor’s degree in a related field such as mathematics, physics, or computer science. Depending on the university, having a research paper may be beneficial in the admissions process, though it is not always required. Finally, when selecting a university, it is important to consider the reputation of the university as well as the quality of the courses offered. Ranking is not necessarily the most important factor, as many universities offer excellent programs that may not be ranked highly but are still of high quality.
