So basically I want to go further into theoretical physics after my BSc. But I don't know what modules would be the best choice.
The University I applied for only offers the following module choice, but they state that if I want another selection, the Dean must approve it.
1st year:
Chemistry
Physics
Applied Mathematics
Mathematics
Computer Science (Only Computing Fundamentals)
2nd year a choice of 3 of the above subjects (with Computer Science excluded) and the 3rd year a choice of 2.
And ironically they call this choice structure, Materials Development, as their research at the postgraduate level focuses on Materials. What I am worrying about is that they are going to try and "force" me to do my post-grad with them in one of their research fields and not at another institution that offers Theoretical Physics.
I think the best would be one of the following:
1st year:
Physics
Mathematics
Applied Mathematics
Computer Science
2nd year:
Physics
Mathematics
Computer Science
3rd year:
Physics
Mathematics
OR
1st year:
Physics
Mathematics
Applied Mathematics
Computer Science
2nd year:
Physics
Mathematics
Applied Mathematics
3rd year:
Physics
Mathematics
Which selection do you think will be the best foundation for doing theoretical physics at the postgraduate level.
Thanks
