Pursuing Advanced Physics Studies with an Engineering Degree

[zodas]

Hey,

I have a very basic question !
I want to go for advanced study in physics. I want to do research in basic physics (like, quantum mechanics or particle physics ).

Is it possible to go for a Phd in physics with a bachelor's degree in an engeneering subject (like electronics or computer science ) .

electronics or computer science? if u had done advanced level math, there are some places where you can go for an msc in physics, leading to a phd.

Can u please explain in detail ?
advanced level math and the places where it is possible ?

This question comes up quite often. Here's a thread about it:

you should have a solid background that covered topics like vectors and matrices, groups, analysis (rigorous investigation of calculus), vector calculus, differential equations, probability, metrics and topological spaces, linear algebra, rings & modules, complex & real analysis, numerical analysis, pdes, this is not an exhaustive list though.

if you have this kind of solid math background, many unis in uk can offer u a place of study for MSc Physics.
