AI Thread Summary
A third-year MPhys student from St Andrews University is seeking to connect with others interested in physics or currently enrolled in university programs to discuss differences in teaching methods and share experiences. Another participant, who is moving into their final year of a BSc in Physics and Astrophysics at Birmingham, expresses interest in joining the conversation. The discussion touches on the appeal of engaging with peers and humorously suggests that female participants may receive more responses. There is also a mention of engineering majors, indicating a willingness to include diverse academic backgrounds in the dialogue. Overall, the thread emphasizes the desire for community and exchange of ideas among students in the field of physics and related disciplines.

Hey,

I'm in my 3rd year of a MPhys degree at St Andrews University and I am looking to chat to more people who have an interest in physics or are doing a degree at Uni. It would be great to hear how universities differ in how they teach, and just general chit chat.

My msn is redshift71@hotmail.com

Hope to hear from of you intelligent folk soon

Why not, looks like fun to compare programs.

I'll add you to my msn list.
 
I will be moving on to my 3rd and final (yay) year of BSc Physics and Astrophysics at Birmingham. Mine's nick@xyphias.com.

If you mention your a girl you'll get 3 times as many responses. :smile: :wink:
 
LOL, how true. Are engineering majors welcome? I'm pretty sure they will try to slip in a bit of physics here and there as I progress towards my degree :biggrin: .

I felt so special after receiving a private message from this person, I think this thread has worn away a bit of the charm.
 
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...
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...
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...
