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.

Hi, I am 29 yrs old guy from India just joined this forum. I have completed BSc in computer science last year, I did not have physics in my course though Maths was there. I want to do master in Physics or any engineering field from UK, is it possible? if yes then please suggest me how to proceed.

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 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
