AI Thread Summary
A 29-year-old from India, with a BSc in Computer Science but no physics background, is seeking advice on pursuing a master's in Physics or engineering in the UK. Responses indicate that while it may be possible to enroll in a master's program in Physics, the individual will likely need to complete a year of foundational physics courses first. It is recommended to consult the program director or coordinator of the desired master's program to understand specific prerequisites and the minimum duration for any necessary preparatory courses. The consensus highlights that there is no universal solution, and requirements can vary by institution.

You have a Bsc in Computer Science and had no physics at all? :s

Maybe you'll be able to get a master in physics but you'll probably need to do a year of only physics courses. If you want more details ask the programdirector of the master in physics at your university.
 
What is the minimum duration of Pre-master physics
 
You'll have to ask someone of the physics department at your university. In your case my guess would be a year-year and half.
 
As eXorikos said, look at the prerequisites of the master program you are interested in and talk to the program coordinator. There is no simple catch-all answer.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
