What Are the Experiences of MSc Particles, Strings & Cosmology at Durham?

AI Thread Summary
A third-year student pursuing a BSc in Mathematics and Physics in Scotland seeks insights on the MSc in Particles, Strings, and Cosmology at Durham, previously known as MSc in Elementary Particle Theory, as well as similar programs at King's College, Imperial, and Sussex. The student notes a lack of funding opportunities associated with these programs, indicating that applicants should not expect financial support. Another participant mentions applying to three out of four programs (excluding Imperial) but does not provide specific feedback on the courses.

Hi folks,

I'm a 3rd year student doing a BSc in Mathematics and Physics (in Scotland) and I was wondering if anyone could share with me their experiences of the MSc particles, strings and cosmology at Durham (previously MSc elementary particle theory) or any of the other similar courses at Kings College/Imperial/Sussex.

Cheers

I applied to 3/4 (not Imperial) this year, so unfortunately I can't comment on the actual programmes.
