Can I opt to take modern physics as major for M.sc?

[aditya23456]

I m presently studying B.tech 4th year,with branch as electrical and electronics engineering..Is it advisable/plausible to take modern physics as my M.sc course and go for research.? I've keen interest but is it praise worthy to do so.? Since I ve a background of electrical and electronics engineering as B.tech degree..How about having M.sc in electromagnetic waves(is there any such course)(does this co-relate to quantum mechanics.?)
Hope I've sounded meaningful..thanks in advance

This is a bit puzzling on why you would ask this here. I don't know how the school system is at where you are, but shouldn't you have an academic advisor that you should be directing this question to? It is meaningless for us to answer such a question because your academic requirement could be something else. We could reply "yes, you can take such ans such" but if your advisor says no, it means no.

I cannot make the decision for you, but I can provide some guidance and information to help you make an informed decision.

Firstly, it is definitely possible to pursue a Master of Science (M.Sc) in modern physics after completing a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in electrical and electronics engineering. In fact, having a background in engineering can be beneficial for studying modern physics, as it requires strong mathematical and analytical skills.

However, it is important to consider your career goals and interests before deciding to pursue a degree in modern physics. If you are passionate about the subject and have a keen interest in research, then it may be a good choice for you. Modern physics is a broad field that covers a range of topics such as quantum mechanics, relativity, particle physics, and cosmology, so you will need to have a strong interest in these areas to excel in your studies.

It is also worth noting that pursuing a degree in modern physics will require a significant amount of time and effort, and you may need to take additional courses to bridge any knowledge gaps between your engineering background and the physics curriculum. However, if you are willing to put in the work and have a strong passion for the subject, it can be a rewarding and fulfilling path.

As for your question about a specific course in electromagnetic waves, there are certainly courses available in this area, and it can be related to quantum mechanics as electromagnetic waves are described by quantum mechanics principles. However, it may be more beneficial to focus on a broader modern physics program that covers a range of topics rather than a specific course in electromagnetic waves.

Ultimately, the decision to pursue a Master of Science in modern physics is a personal one that should be based on your interests, career goals, and dedication to the subject. I would recommend researching different programs, speaking with advisors or professors in both engineering and physics departments, and considering your own strengths and interests before making a decision. Best of luck in your academic journey.
