Phd in physics after bachelor in computer science

AI Thread Summary
A bachelor's degree in computer science can provide a pathway to a PhD in physics or applied physics, but eligibility largely depends on the applicant's background in physics and mathematics. Prospective students should have completed relevant coursework in physics, demonstrating a solid foundation in the subject. High grades in these courses, along with a strong overall GPA, can enhance the chances of acceptance into a PhD program. Additionally, GRE scores may be required by some programs, and competitive scores can further improve admission prospects. Providing specific academic details, such as coursework and grades, is essential for receiving tailored advice on eligibility and application strategies.

Aside from reading the above thread, you have to at least post some specs if you want anyone to be able to give any helpful input. Physics courses taken plus grades, GPA, GRE scores (if applicable).
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
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.
