Hi folks,

I'm a 3rd year student doing a BSc in Mathematics and Physics (in Scotland) and I was wondering if anyone could share with me their experiences of the MSc particles, strings and cosmology at Durham (previously MSc elementary particle theory) or any of the other similar courses at Kings College/Imperial/Sussex.

Cheers

Don't expect to be funded because all of those programmes have no funding or very little funding attached!

I applied to 3/4 (not Imperial) this year, so unfortunately I can't comment on the actual programmes.
