Hey guys!

I got the offer a few weeks ago and I was wondering if anyone knows what to expect when I go there this October. I am feeling kinda nervous about it since getting the offer seems like a longshot when I applied(didnt get 1st, is currently a 2:1).

Any advices, thoughts and comments would be much appreciated!

Hi LuRu,

I'm also on the course. Not sure what to expect either :/. I've just finished my astrophys degree at Southampton Uni, which uni are you from?

Ah~ well, I doubt you would know my uni. I'm from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia(UKM), aka National University of Malaysia ;-)

I suppose, we'll see for ourselves when the course starts although I'm still waiting for my visa...>.<"

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
