AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on choosing between Lund and Uppsala universities for studying theoretical physics in Sweden. Uppsala is noted for having a stronger reputation in theoretical physics, while Lund is recognized for its research in nanotechnology, making it a better fit for those interested in experimental physics. Additionally, there is a mention of Swiss universities, specifically ETH and EPFL, as excellent options for physics studies in Switzerland. The conversation also highlights the importance of geographical accuracy when discussing universities.

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

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...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
