Schools Where Can I Find the Best Graduate School for Studying Gravity?

AI Thread Summary
When seeking graduate programs for studying gravity, particularly in quantum gravity, it's essential to narrow down specific research interests within the field. Potential areas of focus include numerical relativity, mathematical properties of general relativity, modified theories of gravity, and gravitational radiation. Identifying a clear research direction will help in receiving tailored recommendations for schools that specialize in these topics. The discussion emphasizes the importance of exploring various branches of gravity to find the right fit for a PhD program.

Hello,

I'm undergrad in physics and am seeking prospective graduate (PhD) schools that have a very good program for studying GR and basically everything I can learn about gravity. I'm not overly concerned with schools being "ivy" league - I just want a school that specializes in my focus and can be recommended overall. Any ideas? European schools included?

Well, the first thing you should do is narrow down really what it is about gravity that you want to study at the PhD level. Are you interested in numerical relativity? Quantum gravity? Mathematical properties of GR? Modified theories of gravity? Gravitational radiation? Also, experimental or theoretical?

Take some time to look into all of these different research areas (and there are undoubtedly more, I've just named a few that I'm familiar with). Once you've found some that are interesting, then people can start to make recommendations.
 
Thanks Nabeshin. While I can't claim to know a great deal about all the various branches of gravity, I am set on quantum gravity.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
