Can an engineer become a theoretical physicist?
It will be exceedingly difficult to go from Engineering to theoretical physics, though evidently not impossible. As many have said, the sure path is to go for physics (and possibly some mathematics modules if at all possible).
Can I become a theoretical physicist?
Becoming a theoretical physicist usually requires a doctorate in physics or mathematics, post-doctoral experience, and several years of job experience applying physics. Most often, theoretical physicists will start out in applied physics, and from there move into theoretical physics.
What are the requirements of a theoretical physicist?
Career Requirements
| Degree Level | Most likely a Ph.D. and postgraduate study required |
|---|---|
| Degree Field | Physics |
| Key Skills | Ability to comprehend abstract subjects such as time and space; a high degree of mathematical competence; ability to design experiments and to ‘think outside the box’, considering completely new ideas |
Do engineers need to study physics?
So, in short, yes, engineers do learn a whole lot of physics, but most of it not in the physics department. Physics departments tend to focus on the things that are of current research interest in physics, while engineering focuses on things that are of use in the development and design of new systems.
