Schools Where should I apply for my graduate studies?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a student in their final year of a physics program seeking advice on pursuing further education and research opportunities, particularly at CERN. The student has completed a short internship at CERN and recognizes the necessity of obtaining a master's or PhD for a future role there. However, they express uncertainty about which university to attend, lacking a strong connection to any institution. Additionally, the student aims to earn money while studying to maintain self-sufficiency and plans to apply for a scholarship from CONACYT, which requires acceptance into a program first. The conversation highlights the need for specific university recommendations, particularly those involved in CERN research, and seeks guidance on making informed decisions regarding their academic future.

If everything goes right I am in my last year of my physics program in my university.

I want to do research, I did a short internship at CERN and I would like to work there, and I know that for that I need to get a masters or a phd.

The thing is that I am not sure to which university should I go, I don't feel a strong connection to any institution as I've seen some people do.

Also, I would like to earn some money while I study, to be self sufficient.

The last thing to consider is that I will apply for a scholarship at CONACYT, a mexican institution, and they give you the scholarships once you have been accepted.

I am trying to give enough information to get a good advice without saying too much, if I didn't mentioned something important please let me know.

Thanks

This is so vague as to preclude any useful advice, I'm afraid.

Have you at least made a list of some universities that participate in research at CERN?
 
Which country are you in?
 
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"...
