Physics master after engineering bachelor?

[Bradwast88]

Is it possible to enroll to physics master program after electrical engineering bachelor?
or is there any engineering degree which can leads to physics master?

Thanks.

As with every person looking to switch areas of study from bachelor's to master's; it depends on if you can convince the graduate admissions committee that you are qualified. As an EE you will be strong in some areas (or should be) and weak in others. Nobody on these boards can tell if you if that will be good enough to wherever you're applying.

Sorry to hijack this thread but what, in the opinion of the PF members, would be an (or various) engineering degrees/programs be suitable for study to Physics related masters courses?

While it is possible to "enroll", various schools have different requirements for a Masters degree. For example, some require that you take the same qualifying exams as PhD candidates, others don't. Some requires that you get out of the gate running, while others will give you some time to catch up by taking advanced undergraduate classes.

Again, the self-test that I described in the thread will be a concrete evaluation that you can do on whether you are well-prepared or not for physics graduate school.

Yes, it is possible to enroll in a physics master's program after completing a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. In fact, many universities offer combined programs where students can earn a bachelor's degree in engineering and a master's degree in physics. Additionally, there are several engineering degrees that can lead to a master's degree in physics, such as mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, and materials science and engineering. These programs often require students to take additional courses in physics to fulfill the requirements for the master's degree. Ultimately, it is important to research specific programs and their requirements to determine the best path for pursuing a physics master's degree after completing an engineering bachelor's degree.
