Hi everyone!

I need to start thinking about what program to choose for my M.sc (I need to apply before 1 may 2014). I'll have completed my undergrad in pure math by then, but I've no idea of what subject to go in!

Every graduate math program my school offer seem very interesting, engineering could be a great option even computer science seem very fun!

How did you choose your field? Any regret?

Thanks

You must be excited that you are finishing your undergraduate program in a year . For the undergraduate program I chose computer science I still have three years maximum to finish it ( a minor in mathematics will make the schedule busy ). So far no regrets , even though I spend lots of time reading mathematics.I think computer science is a fun subject not so complicated and beautiful .

Hi Barioth, :)

Great to hear that you are planning to do your grad studies. The way I did it was to shortlist the main fields that I like to do and apply for programs that involves those fields. Since you've got a long time to apply maybe you can search through the departmental websites and contact professors who are doing research that interests you. That way you'll have a better idea of choosing what fits you most. :)

heh yeah I'm very excited and happy, I decided to speed thing up by doing intensive summer class, it's finaly paying off hehe.

That's a good idea, I'll get to it next week thanks!
 
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
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...
