    Masters Program
AI Thread Summary
Choosing a master's program in physics requires careful consideration of personal interests and career goals. Engaging with professors and graduate students in fields of interest is crucial for gaining insights into available projects and opportunities. While generic MSc courses exist, they often cater to non-physics graduates. It's essential to identify specific interests, such as nanophysics or biophysics, as these can guide the selection process. The discussion emphasizes the importance of blending theoretical and practical aspects of physics and suggests that students will refine their focus during their master's studies. Ultimately, self-reflection on current interests is key to making an informed decision about the right field.

Regarding Masters program. Guide me :)

i am a physics graduate from India and would like to opt for master program in physics, i m
unable to chose the field for masters, i have a rough idea where i m interested in, blending theoritical and practical physics :blushing:. Albeit heard about various courses like nanophysics, biophysics,... like to know more about them and various courses in physics. (leaving out most theoretical physics). please guide me.

thanks in anticipation.

The danger in asking for guidance is that you sometimes get it.

The best way to make this decision is to speak directly with the professors and grad students who work in the fields that interest you. Consider the projects they have available and whether you can see yourself working on those for the next 2-4 years. (Keep in mind that you are free to propose your own project too.)

i hav tried this approach before posting my querry here, although i ain't successful in getting the relevant informations.
as no other place is as good as here i mean PHYSICS FORUMS ther might be students ; professors and various dignitaries around here.
 
What country are you hoping to do an MSc in? I have a friend who's doing an MSc in the UK at the moment, he's from India too. You really have to choose a field to go into at this point. There are some generic Physics MSc courses although they're aimed more at being conversion courses for non-Physics students. You'll be able to blend theoretical and practical in pretty much any area of Physics. Ask yourself, what interests you the most right now and what do you think you'd like to work in. Think general. You'll hone in on a more specific topic during your MSc.
 
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...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
