Hello everybody just out of couriosity
An undergraduate degree in EE or Computer engineering followed by a MS in Nanotechnology engineering (lectures in quantum and stat mech, chemistry, nanostructured materials with many lab activities...) can be considered in some way equivalent to a MS in Physics in terms of skillset and "mindset"?
(I live in Europe and the MS is mandatory for PhD)
Thank you! :wink:

What's dispositive is whether the admissions officers at the universities you are considering for a PhD consider your degrees sufficient. I would contact them.
 
An easy way to check if this nanotechnology master's degree is taken as equivalent to a physics degree in terms of PhD admissions is to find out how many graduates of the program have gone on to do PhD's in physics. If lots of them have, you can be pretty confident that you can follow the same path.
