    Masters Program
Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on selecting a master's program in physics, particularly for a physics graduate from India. The participant expresses interest in fields that blend theoretical and practical physics while seeking guidance on various courses available, such as nanophysics and biophysics, while avoiding most theoretical physics.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that the best way to choose a field is to speak directly with professors and graduate students involved in those areas, considering available projects.
  • The original poster mentions previous attempts to gather information directly from professors and grad students without success, indicating a reliance on the forum for guidance.
  • Another participant inquires about the country where the original poster intends to pursue their MSc, noting that there are generic MSc courses aimed at non-physics students but emphasizing the importance of choosing a specific field.
  • This participant also reassures that blending theoretical and practical aspects is possible in various areas of physics and encourages the original poster to reflect on their current interests.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the importance of direct communication with faculty and the need to choose a specific field, but there is no consensus on the best approach to gather information or the specific fields to pursue.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the original poster's previous unsuccessful attempts to obtain information from professors, which may affect their decision-making process. The discussion does not resolve which specific fields may be most suitable.

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 theoretical 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 have 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.
