Physics

1. Your measurements disagree with the theoretical model by a few per cent. What do you do?

2. How comfortable are you with advanced mathematics – differential equations, linear algebra, complex analysis?

3. You have to choose a research group for your thesis. How do you decide?

4. How do you feel about writing code to simulate a physical system or analyse large data sets?

5. The programme is taught in English and your group includes physics graduates from different countries. How do you see that?

6. You come across a preprint claiming a surprising result in your area. What do you do?

7. An experiment needs weeks of setting up and calibrating before you get any data. How do you feel?

8. Would you be willing to present your results at a conference and answer tough questions?

9. A company asks for help modelling heat flow in a new device. How do you react?

10. What motivates you most to pursue a Master’s degree in Physics?
