AI Thread Summary
To pursue a passion for physics, including areas like quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, relativity, astrophysics, and cosmology, a solid educational foundation is essential. After completing 10+2, which in India signifies the end of secondary education with a focus on subjects like calculus and classical mechanics, the next step is to enroll in a bachelor's program. A Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Physics is recommended, as it provides a comprehensive understanding of various physics branches. It is not necessary to specialize in a specific area before starting the bachelor’s degree, allowing for exploration across different fields of physics during the course. This flexibility enables students to make informed decisions about their focus later in their academic journey.

I'm very passionate about physics and want to have knowledge in all branches of physics like quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, relativity, etc
i'm also interested in astrophysics and cosmology. So what type of education i must take to follow my passion, currently i have finished my 10+2 and preparing for bachelor's admission in mumbai. Thank you.

This article from ZapperZ should answer many questions (it is linked here, too). I don't know what 10+2 is, but you do not have to choose specific areas of physics before you plan to do your bachelor thesis.
 
In india, 10+2 is the end of school education where we finish learning basic calculus, classical mechanics , etc and then go for bachelor.
Which bachelor course will be benifical for me in future?
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
