Confused about undergraduate/masters/PhD

I understand what those terms mean, but what I want to know is if I can do an Undergraduate/Masters degree in computer science, then change to do a Masters/PhD in Physics.
Some people have said I can do that and some people said I can't.

Its probably a no, but I'd appreciate the advice :smile:

It depends on so many factors. Most likely not though. You should contact each university seperately as theyll all have different answers.


Thanks much appreciated :smile:
Switching from Physics to CS is a lot easier than the other way round imo. But then again, one is a 340 year old discipline and the other is some 70 years old or so.

I'd say possible, but I have no idea honestly. Both principles are Maths-heavy, so you've got that going. If you can convince the particular university that you know your physics at a good level, maybe did a Masters dissertation on some physics-related topic through CS, then possibly.
