AI Thread Summary
A discussion on potential university courses and careers that align with A-level subjects—Maths with Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Technology—highlights Chemical Engineering and Materials Science as strong options. These fields utilize knowledge from all listed subjects. The conversation notes that pursuing Materials Science would integrate both physics and chemistry, while Mechanical Engineering may focus more heavily on physics, suggesting that the choice of study should reflect personal interests and desired skill applications.

This is just a hypothetical question, I just need to find out a career or uni course that would require/ be helpful to have studied these subjects previously to A level.

Maths w/ Further Maths
Physics
Chemistry
Technology (Its mostly electronics but you also learn about basic mechanical engineering, CAD/CAM, manufacturing techniques etc.)

So far I've came up with Chemical Engineering and Materials Science as these seem to require skills/knowledge from all of those subjects.

Thanks

If you study Materials Science, you probably would get the physics and the chemistry, if you study say mechanical engineering say, you would get a disproportionately large amount of physics instead of chemistry, it depends on what you want.
 
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...
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...
