Hello Guys,

I am a computer engineer (B.Sc in Computer Engineering)
I am 31 years old now.

After this period, I discovered that I want to study physics not computer engineering.

i want to ask you if i can now apply for masters of physics ? and if so, what subjects should i have before the master to cover the bachelor things that i missed.
i feel behind and i don't know how to catch up.
i also don't know if this is a right step in my life since I am working already as a computer engineer.

aslo, if I am done with the masters would it be easy to continue for PHD ?

advise me please ...

Thanks in advance.
