Hello everyone! I was recently accepted into the High energy physics MSc at ETH Zurich (minor miracle...), doing the second year at Ecole Poly. This is after coming out of a BSc majoring in physics and maths, at a less prestigious uni which probably hasn't covered material to the same extent as the BSc at ETH.
I was wondering if there might be anyone on the forum with experience in this program? Or with physics at ETH in general? I feel like I might be a little unprepared for the MSc, particularly regarding particle physics, quantum, and probably also some of the mathematics which is used, like topology. I will try and catch up on some of this before starting in September, but I'm trying to get a feel for what areas to focus on.
Could anyone recommend some good resources for preparing for a high energy physics master? Book recommendations? Something which bridges undergrad material to the more advanced material which I'm sure we'll dive into all too quickly?
