Is it possible for an engineering physics major to specialise in particle physics?
I'm passionate about physics, specifically particle physics. But I’m a bit hesitant about pursuing a pure physics major because of how competitive and uncertain the career path can be. Right now, I’m considering majoring in engineering physics since it seems like a good balance between the experimental side of engineering and the theoretical side of physics.
how common or realistic is it for someone with an engineering physics degree to specialize in particle physics later on? Has anyone taken that path, and is it even possible for an engineering physics major to do that?
