Programs Need help finding master's program (Europe) with modeling aspects

AI Thread Summary
A student from Ireland is seeking a master's program in Europe that emphasizes modeling and simulation, considering both theoretical and applied physics tracks. They have identified TU Delft's applied physics and Utrecht University's theoretical physics programs but are uncertain about their focus on modeling. Professors have suggested that Germany and the Netherlands host many reputable universities, but specific recommendations for strong modeling courses were lacking. Resources like MastersPortal and FindAMasters were recommended for further research. Both TU Delft and Utrecht University offer solid physics programs, with TU Delft having a notable focus on quantum computing and modeling research.

Hello, I am a student from Ireland in the final year of a BSc in physics and am looking around for a master's to apply for. I would really like a master's degree that has a strong focus/track on modeling and simulation.
I was unsure whether it would be better to apply to a more theoretical based physics master's or a more applied based course. Some of the master's programs that I have looked at so far include applied physics at TU Delft and theoretical physics at Utrecht University, but I am unsure yet where I should go. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Any guidance from professors in your current university?

Most professors I asked told me that there are a lot of good universities in Germany and the Netherlands but I didn't get any clear answer on strong modeling courses which is why I decided to try here
 
Both Delft and Utrecht have very good physics programs. Modelling is a pretty broad concept. I studied turbulence modelling. You might be interested in quantum computing.
I did my PhD at the applied physics group in Delft and I really liked the university and the city. They currently have a very strong group doing research on quantum computing, if that is your interest. The different tracks that you can follow are mentioned here:

Utrecht has something similar:

They might have limited availability though, so maybe check out if you can simply enroll or if you have to jump through hoops and are then randomly selected from the best hoop-jumpers.

guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
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...
