Schools Is There a Grad Program That Combines Math and Physics?

AI Thread Summary
Graduate programs that integrate pure mathematics and physics are available, though offerings vary by institution. It's essential to have a solid foundation in mathematics before pursuing these programs. Students interested in topics like Ramsey theory and general relativity should explore specific programs, such as the Math Tripos III, which may offer the desired blend of subjects. For those in the U.S., searching for interdisciplinary programs in mathematical physics or applied mathematics could yield suitable options. Checking with individual colleges for their specific offerings is recommended.

Do they have grad programs that blend pure math and physics.
where you learn math and physics at the same time.

yep ... though the exact program depends on the school.

Yep - pretty much cannot be avoided. Though you should have done the bulk of your math learning before you graduate.
You should be checking this with your college.
 
can you tell me of a school that has this type of program. Like I want to be learning about ramsey theory and GR at the same time.
 
Math Tripos III?
 
thanks Mr vodka. that is what I am talking about. Do you know if they have stuff like that in America. Or what should I try to search for.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
