    Master Program
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the MSc in Earth and Space Physics and Engineering program at DTU in Denmark, with a focus on its potential for future employment at NASA. While the program is well-regarded and offers appealing courses, it is emphasized that non-American citizens face significant challenges in securing jobs at NASA due to citizenship requirements. However, there are opportunities with other contractors and organizations like the European Space Agency (ESA). The consensus suggests that choosing a program based on genuine interest is crucial, and the DTU program is considered a strong option for those passionate about the field.

"Msc in Earth and Space Physics and Engineering", at DTU (Denmark). I love the courses it offers, and I would like to work for NASA in the future. Do you think this program is a good idea? Any opinions? (Click here to access the website)Thank you for your help, guys :)

First of all, you should be aware that unless you are an American citizen, you can't actually work for NASA. However, that does not mean that you can't work for other contractors, or alternatively ESA etc. I couldn't really comment on how good a career choice the course would be, but I would recommend that you choose a course that you are genuinely interested in. If you love the courses this programme offers, then take it!

I will link here to fields that NASA in particular recommends, as they may be useful if you want to work in this field in general.

Best of Luck!
 
Are you an US citizen interested in continuing your education overseas in Denmark. If so, your chances may be good. My understanding is the program at DTU is very good. However, unless you are an US citizen, NASA and other US government jobs may be difficult or impossible.
 
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'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
