AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on studying physics in Italy, particularly at the University of Trieste. The University of Trieste is noted for its strong physics program, but concerns are raised about the current state of science funding and education in Italy due to recent political changes. The University of La Sapienza in Rome is highlighted as the leading institution for physics, despite the author's reservations about the city being expensive and overcrowded. There is also a query about the availability of English-taught programs in Italian universities. Overall, while there are good options for studying physics in Italy, the current political climate poses challenges for the education sector.

Hi all, I come from Croatia (Europe) and i just finished 2nd year of high school. I was doing a litlle thinking where to go when i finish my high school and I decided I'll probably study physics. Since Italy is very near Croatia and I have Italian classes in school I was thinking about going to university in Italy. I was wondering have you heard what is the best university in Italy for physics? Is University of Trieste good? Is that any way to study laurae (1. cycle of Bologna process) in English? Since my English is better than my Italian.
Thanks for your answers and excuse me for gramar and spelling mistakes.

Hi Sirium,

this is an Italian speaking. It's bad time for science in Italy, new politics did a major overhaul: funds have been cut off and the title of "researcher" is not anymore reckoned by law. From the next year onward, the new laws will have severe impact even on teaching. Most universities (such as the one in my city) are going to suppress many Masters in physics as well as some courses at Bachelor, due to insufficient personnels.

If you wish anyway to study Physics in my country, I suggest you to join any University with an excellence school on its support (even if you don't join the school directly). Good choice could be Trieste (SISSA) and Pisa (SNS). The most important italian university for physics is probably "La Sapienza" (Roma), it has an impressive number of teaching and research fields, keep an eye on its website.

Good luck,
Ll.
 
Thanks for your reply. If looks to me there is no good place for science nowdays. I still think in Italy I can get better education than in Croatia (have you maybe heard any comparation with physics in Italy and Croatia?). I'm happy to hear that they have a good faculty of physics in Trieste, becase it's very near Croatia. About university in Roma, I have heard it's best but the problem is I don't like Roma. It's seems very expensive and overcrowded to me. Maybe it's cause i visited it as a tourist...
 

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

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...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
