AI Thread Summary
Kiran, a final-year B.Sc. physics student, is seeking guidance on pursuing an M.Sc. in theoretical physics at UK universities. He expresses confusion about the UK education system and the specifics of theoretical physics, including its scope and the distinction between theoretical physicists and general physicists. Kiran is particularly interested in understanding the differences between M.Sc. Physics and M.Sc. Theoretical Physics, as well as how to transition from an M.Sc. to a Ph.D. He also questions the financial viability of a career in physics, expressing a desire to avoid teaching and instead focus on research. Additionally, he is exploring the possibility of combining physics with business, such as creating a physics-related channel, to support education for underprivileged individuals. Kiran is committed to making physics his passion and career, seeking advice to solidify his path forward.

hi this is Kiran,

I am going to complete undergraduate physics. I am in B.sc final year. SO MUCH confused about degree stuff in UK.I read ZapperZ's article related to becoming physicist but it's related to USA.

I am going to apply for UK universities. So, currently I am writing SOP (statement of purpose) for UK universities.however, I am not clear with my course which i have chosen. I need some help here...

I am going to apply for M.sc theoretical physics.i don't know education system of UK.

so,

1.What is difference between research and Thought degree in theoretical physics?

2.What theoretical physics actually study ?(I checked Wikipedia soo much confused..)
does it cover all fields in physics ??

3.what is difference between a theoretical physicist and a physicist ?

what is difference between M.sc Physics and M.sc theoretical physics ?4.currently I am B.sc final year. how can I take M.sc with research ?
How to get to P.hd ?
what can I take ?

5. I don't know whether physics would fill my belly or not. I don't know how much I would earn as physicist. I don't like to become lecture(why should I wast my time in teaching kids ? LOL) I love to become a researcher. time is very less..

so, is it possible to do business on physics ? (I will never give up so . nothing is impossible)

like opening a Channel on Physics like physicsTV ? I want to get into business to earn lot of money to educate poor people in my country and disabled people. who thought me to never given up in my life !

I made my decision that I will spend my whole life for physics to satisfy my curiosity.
I am celibate too ha ha ha ...

I want to make physics as my passion and Business.So, got to think !

Guys I am going to choose my career !

need help only at this point. then I will never disappoint anyone of you...!
I will be helping you soon...

you will be knowing me soon !

ha ha hah ha...

thank you for reading..

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...
