AI Thread Summary
When considering pursuing a PhD in Physics abroad, it's crucial to first identify a specific field of interest within physics. This focus will help narrow down potential universities that specialize in relevant research and experiments. Applicants should gather information on each university's requirements, which can vary significantly; some may require GRE scores, while others may not, and language proficiency tests like TOEFL could also be necessary. Additionally, some programs may expect a completed thesis from the master's level. Thorough research on these criteria will aid in making informed decisions about where to apply, ultimately reducing confusion in the application process.

I am currently in my 1st year of Msc Physics in India and want to do phd from foreign country but there are so many universities in diff countries (germany,usa,uk,france etc) , so how should i go about it , what to consider while applying ? What data should i gather before applying to any university , its all too confusing , some have GRE exams as a condition, others don;t, some have TOEFL , some require that a thesis be done at masters level but how do i select a university to apply ?

I would advise you first decide what field of physics you would like to go into, and then find out which universities are involved with which experiments you are interested in, and then enquire there!
 
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...
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
