AI Thread Summary
Completing a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering may not automatically qualify one for admission into a graduate physics program, as specific course requirements can vary by institution. It's essential to review the course load and prerequisites of the desired physics program. Contacting the relevant department directly is recommended to clarify qualification criteria. Additionally, exploring suggested courses and resources, such as a linked thread on physics forums, can provide further guidance on transitioning into physics studies.

I have completed by bachelors degree in engineering (chemical) and I want to pursue higher studies in physics. any advice

It might help to be a little more specific with your question.

Off hand, I'm not sure that a typical chemical engineering degree would meet the minimum requirements for admission into a graduate level physics program - however, the devil is in the details. Your specific course load may be sufficient - depending on the program that you're interested in. I would recommend contacting any department that you're interested into see what you need to do to qualify for their program.
 
can you suggest me with some courses.
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
