SUMMARY

The discussion centers on choosing between Lund University and Uppsala University for theoretical physics programs, with a consensus that Uppsala is more renowned for its theoretical physics curriculum. Lund University is noted for its strengths in nanotechnology, making it a better fit for those interested in experimental physics. Additionally, the Swiss institutions ETH Zurich and EPFL are recommended for their high rankings in physics programs, providing alternatives for students considering studies in Switzerland.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of theoretical physics concepts
  • Familiarity with university ranking systems
  • Knowledge of research areas in physics, such as nanotechnology
  • Awareness of Swiss and Swedish higher education institutions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Uppsala University's theoretical physics program specifics
  • Explore Lund University's nanotechnology research opportunities
  • Investigate ETH Zurich's and EPFL's physics programs and admission criteria
  • Learn about the application processes for universities in Sweden and Switzerland
USEFUL FOR

Prospective physics students, academic advisors, and anyone considering higher education in theoretical or experimental physics in Sweden or Switzerland.

Hi,

I´m planning to apply to some swiss universities so if there is anyone familiar with Swedish universities who can tell me.
Where to go for theoretical physics, Lund or Uppsala?

Sorry, not entirely related to the post, but thought I should point out that Swiss means from Switzerland and those two universities are in Sweden
 
sorry i confuse them, any help in how can i edit the title?
 
I know people who have studied or are studying theoretical physics at both universities and from that I get the feeling that the university in Uppsala is more known for their program in theoretical physics than the university in Lund. Lund I think is more famous for its research into nanotechnology for example and is therefore better suited if you want to become an experimental physicist. This is my opinion of course and if you want to study in Sweden, you better get your geography right ;) If you do end up in Switzerland I can recommend the ETH or the EPFL, which are both ranked highly for their programs in physics
