AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a Physics Degree with an Engineering Physics option is seen as a viable pathway for those interested in aerospace engineering, especially when the current engineering program is not accredited. The discussion emphasizes the importance of seeking accredited programs to enhance future educational opportunities. Internships are crucial for gaining practical experience; it's recommended to start looking for them early in the undergraduate program, ideally during the second year. Engaging in relevant internships will strengthen applications for graduate programs in aerospace or mechanical engineering. Overall, the Engineering Physics route is considered a strategic choice for those aiming for advanced studies in aerospace engineering.

I am contemplating of going for a Physics Degree with the Engineering Physics option. I think it's a good option to possible pursue a graduate degree in aerospace engineering. I am not sure though. Would someone please give me their opinion on the matter of exactly if engineering physics is the right option. If I do go through with this program what exactly should I be looking for as in internships and when should I begin to pursue them?

Why not pursue your undergraduate degree in aerospace engineering if that is what you are presumably interested in?
 
well the college I am at right now, their engineering program is not accredited, but the Physics-Engineering Physics option is. I am then considering a masters program in aerospace engineering or mechanical after i finish my new undergrad.
 
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...
