Doing gre physics without physics or engineering background
Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2019 1:18 pm
Hello,
I am new to this forum. I am 30 years old. I have done bachelors in computer science and working as a data scientist. I developed interest in natural sciences especially in physics. I want to transform my career into physics research/academia. I am looking for a transition into masters in computational physics/physics data analysis kind of programs across Europe. (fine with traditional programs too). But before I commit I want to have some self check process whether I am able to do it. So I thought of trying physics gre.
My questions are,
How long should I prepare for gre physics if I were to take one? I am working full time and how many hours of studying and how long it needs to be done? I will be joining the private study centres like JEE preparation centres in our country, which are somewhat equivalent to physics gre.
Does different educational background impact my studies/career? Can I be successful in both? This self doubt is troubling me.
How are the research opportunities for computational astrophysics/particle physics in future?
I would be much grateful if someone advice on these question.
