AI Thread Summary
Choosing a master's program in Applied Physics requires careful consideration of career prospects and personal interests. The discussion highlights the importance of researching which specializations, such as material science, electronics, and computation, are in demand and offer competitive salaries. Medical physics is noted as one of the highest-paying and most sought-after fields. The conversation also touches on the distinction between physicists and engineers, with a consensus that engineers do not fall under the same category in this context. Ultimately, aligning personal interests with market demand is crucial for making an informed decision.

Hey guys!
I am a future graduate student (October 2010) in Applied Physics. I am planning to continue with my Masters Program next year and I have to choose a program by the end of July.
My problem is now how does one choose a masters program?
To answer this question i tried first to investigate on which type of physicists are most sought and more payed all around the world? can someone help me please?
I would add that I am interested in anything related to material science (actually i am in the option of material science) electronics and computation. But I am okay with other stuff if i can be conviced.
Please help me!

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

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...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

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...
