Applying to American Grad Schools with an Australian Engineering Background
Posted: Wed Dec 18, 2019 10:59 pm
Hi all!
I'm an Australian student who has previously completed a Master of Professional Engineering (specialising in Chemical Engineering), however I ended up returning to university (at the University of Western Australia) to complete my Graduate Diploma in Physics. I'm hoping to pursue a PhD in Physics at an American University, but before I get my hopes up, I wanted to check my eligibility to enter the programs.
Would anyone know if I would be able to be accepted with my Masters in Engineering, or should my degree relate to Physics only? (The Grad Dip is to boost my Physics knowledge before going into grad school!) On top of that, is research experience (especially publications) necessary/recommended for applications? I'm currently doing some Summer Research programs in an effort to boost my research experience.
If anyone's got any experience applying from Australia, I'd be interested to hear your experiences with the system.
Cheers!
