can I do Msc astrophysics after the b.e mechatronics engineering in india
Hello Aspirant,
However, your time spent during your Bachelor’s and your engineering degree in itself does matter a lot. Primarily, astrophysics sees a lot of people like Mechanical engineering background people, like their electrical engineering counterparts, often assist in instrumentation and apparatus design too. However, given the level of exposure undergraduates are receiving these days, it is necessary that you go beyond your degree.
You need to take part in research projects and internships which are astrophysics oriented, to develop an awareness and experience in the field. This would greatly assist you during your Master’s thesis, and would help you have a sense of direction.
So yes, you can definitely apply for a Master’s in Astrophysics (or just physics, with your MS defining your exact field of expertise) after your mechatronics engineering degree.
All the best!!!!
