AI Thread Summary
A background in physics can provide a solid foundation for pursuing a postgraduate degree in geology or meteorology, as both fields incorporate principles of physics. While additional preparatory courses may be necessary, many graduate programs cover essential material in greater detail. It is crucial to verify specific admission requirements by consulting the websites of the graduate schools of interest to ensure eligibility and preparedness for the advanced study in these disciplines.

Can I get a pg in geology or meteorology after ug in physics?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I would think you could as both utilize physics but perhaps not as much as what you've studied. There may be a couple of courses needed to get you prepped for the advanced degree in the specific field but I think that is a rare case as grad school tends to cover the material again but in greater detail.

However, it's best to check with the graduate schools that you plan to apply to be absolutely sure.
 
Yes, visit the web sites of some graduate schools and study their requirements for admission to the programs that you might be interested in.
 
Thank you
