Hi, I'm a graduate in Mechanical Engineering (BEng 1st). The idea of further study has interested me for many years but I have never acted on it. Currently after working for a year and a half in the oil and gas industry I have the further education bug again, but I would love to follow it this time.
I'm not particularly satisfied at work, especially as the company becomes more paper-orientated (which I accept I would have to do anywhere). I would quit my job to continue further education.
I've always had a love for physics, and when work sent me to China I read an introductory book on quantum physics during all the travelling, which I enjoyed more than the reason for being in China. I've bought several extra books but perhaps my biggest downfall is the mathematics. I would be more than happy now to study after work or in my free time.
I would like to do research in physics. Ultimately a PhD, and that would be ideal now, but I think it's too big a jump from a bachelors in Mech Eng. Is it possible someone could explain what I would have to do to start research in physics or other ways to work towards my goal of a PhD in physics.
I graduated when I was 22 in 2010. I've looked at Marie Curie fellowships, or working at CERN, I would love to pursue that!
Thanks,
Ryan
