AI Thread Summary
Transitioning from an undergraduate degree in accountancy to a field like engineering, particularly aerospace, nuclear, or energy, poses challenges due to the lack of formal engineering qualifications. Pursuing a Master's or research project in engineering may be difficult without a relevant undergraduate degree. However, if the individual has a strong foundation in mathematics from their accountancy studies, it could provide some advantage when applying for an engineering program. It is generally recommended to consider enrolling in an undergraduate engineering degree to gain the necessary background before advancing to graduate studies in the field.

Hey, I am currently studying for an undergraduate degree in accountancy but i have an interest in engineering, particularly aspects relating to aerospace, nuclear and energy. I was thinking about possibly further study after my degree into this area and wondered whether anyone knew of any access pathways into the subject that would be suitable? Mabye a Masters or research project, or would this be too advanced, would i need to do another degree in engineering for example? I currently do not hold any formal engineering-related qualifications, although would the maths element of my current course put me at an advantage? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I doubt you'll be able to get into a graduate program in engineering with a degree in accountancy. Depending upon the level of maths you have taken, you may be at a slight advantage when starting an engineering undergrad degree.

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

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...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

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...
