[QUOTE="max1995, post: 5480109, member: 525358"] How below 3.0 is it? because I think a 2:2 (uk grading system) converts to roughly 2.5-3.0 gpa which is normally minimum youd need to do a masters in the uk. If you can get the 2:2 equivalent then you should be able to get onto a taught masters course at some uni in the uk. You would also need to contact a few unis you would think of applying to in X country to make sure that a masters is enough to be eligible to do a phd with them as it might not be The best situation application wise would probably be to do a bachelor in physics and get 3.5+ then you would have more unis that would consider you and more chance of funding but that's probably the most time consuming too. If you go down the masters route, if I were you I would contact unis before hand and ask 'do you accept a engineering degree with physics masters as entry to X Phd'. As I said though the UK at least is fairly competitive to get into the top 10 unis to do a phd as a 4.0 GPA is equivalent to 70% here but many people get 80% + in their degrees but you would perhaps have a chance at a mid ranked uni so in short best situation get a great bachelors in physics, though a masters may be enough for some places but youll need to contact them before hand as every uni will accept different qualifications. You will probably get onto a masters with 2.5 + but anything less then you won't (youll have to pay for the masters too which is normally around £17000 + £6000-£9000 living depending on where you go in the UK) [/QUOTE]
