AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the potential benefits of completing an engineering degree at the Balseiro Institute in Argentina, particularly regarding its international recognition and impact on future career opportunities. The original poster, a third-year ME student, expresses uncertainty about how a degree from this prestigious institution would be viewed in Europe or the US, especially in terms of job prospects and postgraduate studies. The lack of responses indicates a need for more information on the global standing of the Balseiro Institute in the engineering field and its influence on employability and academic advancement abroad.

Hello everyone, I'm currently in the third year of my ME degree in Argentina. For the last 2 years I've had the intention of doing the last 2 years in the Balseiro Institute, the most prestigious institution in physics in Argentina.
But, despite i really want it, I'm not 100% sure about it. I don't know about its recognition in engineering in international circles, can you tell me anything about this? If i want to work, or pursue posgraduate studies, in Europe or US, will my chances be improved?
Thanks,
Santiago

No one? sorry for the self-bump
 
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...
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...
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...
