AI Thread Summary
Obtaining a bachelor’s degree in physics online is feasible for a 33-year-old with responsibilities, as many universities in Europe offer flexible programs. While there are no specific courses that directly lead to a degree, introductory physics courses can provide a foundational understanding and help gauge interest. Many institutions offer part-time or online options, allowing for study alongside work commitments. It’s essential to ensure that any chosen program is accredited to ensure its validity. Exploring community colleges or local universities for introductory courses is a practical first step.

I want to clear this up and to be completely sure and not to live in an illusion.
I am 33 years old,I am not a kid and have many responsibilities.
My main goal is to obtain a bachelor degree in physics.
I just cannot spend 3 or 4 years at some place in Europe to study physics regularly.
I saved some money and can afford to attend some physics courses.
Does it make any sense at all.Are there courses which may somehow lead me toward the degree;anywhere in Europe including even online possibilities.

No, there are no courses which would lead one to a degree in physics.

There's no need to go to Europe for a physics degree; most universities offer one. Not all programs are accredited, though.

Are you in the US?
 
Rather than jumping right in, you might want to look for an introductory physics course - a "physics 101." These are often offered as night classes in community colleges and would allow you to take a step in the right direction without forcing you to quit your day job. Once you get through this and some first year math courses, you'll likely have a better idea of whether or not you'll want to pursue an entire degree.
 
Thank you for your answers.Unfortunately,I am not from US,I am from Europe.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
