AI Thread Summary
Studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) at Imperial College can provide a strong foundation in technical skills, but transitioning to research in Modern Physics after completing a Master's in EEE may be challenging. The consensus indicates that while one might contribute to the development of experimental equipment, the EEE curriculum does not adequately prepare graduates for graduate-level physics research. Therefore, pursuing a career in Modern Physics directly after an EEE degree is unlikely without additional qualifications or studies in physics.

Hi I am studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering in Imperial College and I love physics, however i also like EEE and don't want to change now. Is it possible to do reasearch in Modern Physics after a Masters Degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering?

Not likely. You might be able to work on the equipment (i.e. actually making the apparatus) that will be used to do experiments, but you likely won't be doing the actual research.
 
No, a EE curriculum will not prepare you at all to study physics at a graduate level.

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...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
