SUMMARY
International physics programs typically do not require the Physics GRE for admission, as evidenced by practices in European universities, particularly in Germany. Instead, these institutions focus on applicants' previous academic performance, specifically the grades from their last completed program. This trend highlights a significant difference in admission criteria between US and non-US physics programs, with the GRE being primarily a US-specific requirement.
