Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the aspirations of a participant seeking guidance on pursuing a Master's degree in forces and energy, particularly in the context of transitioning from a background in Electronics and Communication. The conversation touches on the suitability of distance education in physics, the requirements for graduate admission, and the potential for a career in physics research.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that all physics relates to forces and energy, implying a need for a more focused interest before pursuing graduate studies.
  • Another participant expresses skepticism about the value of a distance education M.Sc. in physics, questioning its recognition and the lack of traditional academic components like a thesis.
  • Concerns are raised about the participant's preparedness for graduate work in physics, particularly regarding foundational knowledge in calculus and electromagnetics.
  • There is a discussion about the potential job opportunities in physics and which branches may offer more prospects.
  • One participant expresses gratitude for the responses received, indicating a desire for further assistance in navigating the transition to physics research.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the validity of a distance education degree in physics and its implications for graduate school admission. There is no consensus on the adequacy of the participant's current qualifications for pursuing a Master's or Ph.D. in physics.

Contextual Notes

Some participants highlight the need for a stronger foundational background in physics and mathematics, suggesting that the participant may need additional coursework before applying to graduate programs.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals considering graduate studies in physics, particularly those with non-traditional academic backgrounds or those interested in the intersection of engineering and physics.

Hi, i completed my Electronics and Communication [B.E.]. I want to go for M.S. abroad where can i have great studying atmosphere cause i heard the projects undertaken where more advanced than in India. I want to do projects about forces and energy. Which Field is best matching for me. Please Advice.

Thanks
aypa
 
Physics news on Phys.org
um? all physics has to do with forces and energy

I would suggest if you can't narrow down your interest more than that you probably need to do an undergrad in physics before being admitted into a graduate program.

Unless this is a strange joke of some kind
 
Thanks for ur reply.
I am very serious about doing Phd in physics. I want to understand the secrets hidden in nature. I may be a professor in just a few years.
i am planning to do GRE Physics test October 2010.
i have enrolled for M.Sc physics, distance education since i am working in software concern now.
By 2011 ill finish M.Sc. physics. with this degree in hand and a good GRE physics and GRE General Score i am confident that i may get good academic study.

I am now not sure which college to choose u.s. or u.k.?
Where can i get a job in physics?
Which branch of physics has many job opportunities?

Please help !
 
Still not sure if this is a joke...

MSc distance education in physics?
Maybe I am out of the loop for the rest of the world, but it doesn't sound like something that would be honoured anywhere. Do you have a supervisor, a thesis, graduate level course work?
Make sure whatever you are doing isn't a scam as it seems suspicious.
 
Looking through your post I see 4 months ago you asked a question about the practical applications of calculus. Either you've come along way since then you're being a bit hasty in worrying about graduate work in physics
 
i am really pleased that atleast you reply me.

i am planning to do M.Sc degree in physics in India through distance education.
Is a Msc physics degree enough for Phd or M.S physics admission in U.K?
 
No, certainly not a distance education degree.
 
thanks lubuntu... you have cleared my dialemma.
Now how can i get into Physics research having a bachelor degree in Electronics and Communication. Please help.

I really feel much thankful to this forum.. you ppl r great.
 
How does one get a Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communications without a strong calculus or electromagnetics background? I don't say this to beat you down, but rather to indicate that you might be in need of some remedial physics background (or a bachelor's in physics) if you're serious about going into graduate school.

MATLAB, now do you see what I meant back then?
