M.Sc in Physics after engineering?

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing an M.Sc in Physics after completing an engineering degree is a viable path for those with a strong interest in the subject. Many engineering students are exploring this option, particularly in theoretical physics, but finding suitable programs in India can be challenging. Admission into M.Sc physics courses typically requires a solid foundation in physics and mathematics, often necessitating entrance exams or specific academic qualifications. Career implications for mechanical engineers transitioning to physics include opportunities in research, academia, and interdisciplinary fields, enhancing their skill set and employability. Additionally, while options for theoretical physics courses in India may be limited, students are encouraged to explore universities known for strong physics departments and consider alternative study options, such as online courses or international programs.

M.Sc in Physics after engineering?

Hello!
I' am presently an engineering student and i have a great interest in Physics. I was hoping to do an M.Sc in Theoretical physics but i' am yet to find a college offering this course in India. Hence M.Sc in physics is a viable option.

Can anyone please advice me on how to get about gaining admission into an M.Sc physics course and its career implications for a mechanical engineer.

Also is there any way to do a theoretical physics course in India?

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

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...

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

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...
