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!
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
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...
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...
