Geophysics at Imperial or Physics at KCL?

Right, Ive been offered a place at KCL to study Physics MSc.
At the same time Ive been rejected by Imperial for same program but they offered me an interview for Geophysics instead.

GeoPhy - dont even know much about it, not sure if I will like it at all.

I love both Kings and Imperial, however Imperial has a better reputation for science related subjects.

So:

-- If I do get into Imperial to study GeoPhy, could I switch to just Physics in my 2nd/3rd year?

-- Which uni and course would you go for in this situation?

Thank you

Personally I would go for the course I think I would enjoy most. If you would prefer to do Physics, then go to Kings. Given how popular physics at Imperial is, I doubt you would be able to transfer across. However, if you are still very keen on going to Imperial, maybe it is worth finding out a little more about what Geophysics involves. You may find that you do actually like a lot of what it involves.

Haha you got Geology unconditional from Imperial...
They sent me the GeoPhy syllabus so currently Im thinking about it....

Tbh what really worries me is the employability ofter GeoPhy degree.

Thanks

Geophysics will be pretty much the same, you will have to study the main physics course just with Geo/envrio modules, much like and Astrophysics or a Med Physics course. That said Imperial is better, they don't do soft subjects and all their courses are hard.

For employability, Imperial will be better. People outside physics are going to have more respect for Imperial, and those within physics know better than to dismiss it as a doss course.

In all honesty, physics is ****, trust me, I study it

What's not to like about Physics at UCL? : P

Its not UCL, it just the fact degree level physics is nothing like A-Level. It just endless derivation of stuff that only the most passionate physicist would care about. It very hard to have any passion for about 80% of the content in the course, but you need to know it.

Judging from that, the same could be said about Physics everywhere else, then? If you knew about this beforehand, would still have opted for studying Physics?

Yeah, all physics course will have the same core content, you need to know the basics before going on to the advanced stuff. I probably wouldn't have, but I would have still gone for a similar degree like engineering or something, same kind of workload and style.

I would choose the course I preferred tbh. I didn't first time round and look I have applied again after completing the first degree.

What did you study before Medicine?
