SUMMARY
Research opportunities in Modern Physics are limited for graduates with a Master's Degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) from Imperial College. While EEE graduates may contribute to the development of experimental apparatus, they typically lack the foundational knowledge required for conducting actual physics research. The consensus among forum participants is that the EEE curriculum does not adequately prepare students for advanced studies in physics.
