Re: A science degree is good for you

Would you recommend for someone like me who hasn't done any Physics in 2nd level school to go to University to study it for 4 years? Although I do have an interest, I have absolutely no idea what they talk about in the prospectus, I'll just write a sample to let you know:

The course is mainly split into ten topics:
Electromagnetism, Electronics, Mathematical Methods, Mechanics, Modern Physics, Optics, Properties of matter, Quantum Mechanics, Special Relativity and Thermodynamics with second year including Astronomy and Environmental Physics.

I would have no idea of any of this, especially when they start talking about superconductors and things and gluons and particle physics etc.

Would this worry be great enough for me not to do the course because I don't want to go into a course and end up hating it, rather I hope to like and enjoy it?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
