Hello guys!
I'm 21 years old and I have a Bachelor's Degree in Physics from University of Minho (Portugal), which I finished with a very good grade.
Although I currently have a job in this University as a Researcher in Optics/Photonics, I always wanted to pursue a career in Cosmology or Astrophysics, but I'm not interested in staying in Portugal. I've become quite unsatisfied with the way Physics is taught here and I want to know how scientific research is conducted in other countries.
With that in mind, I started looking for Universities in other countries (in the EU, preferably) that offer programmes that appeal to me. But I'm quite worried about financial issues. I'll save some money from my current job but that won't be nearly enough for sustaining me for two years abroad, and I can't expect big contributions from my single mother.
Do you have any advice for me? Are there any programs that I don't know off which could help me in my situation? Should I consider any country in particular?
Thanks in advance!

Sit back and enjoy life OP. Relieve yourself from trivial ambitions.

I'm sure it's the same shit everywhere. The entire system is set up to benefit the teachers rather than the students.

Well lucky for you, you can't come to the U.S. so that eliminates the good choices.
Judt go wherever offers you the most money.

What an insightful comment. You want another cheeseburguer sir?

>>18007341
No I want another wall.
I don't know what advice you want. Money is an issue so apply for every scholarship and go to the cheapest university. You'll probably need loans to support yourself or just work through it like everyonr else.

I'm not the OP btw. He is obviously looking for a more specific answer, such as: your opinion on the most conceited universities to study physics in europe, what kind of scholarships can he apply to.
This is... actual useful advice, not something generic as 'just go with the cheapest one man xDD'.

A maior parte das aulas de física de licenciatura são dadas no CP1 e no CP2 e na escola de ciências. Acho quechega.

Pro tip. Never post your pic in an anonymous Malaysian cartoon image board.

Hmm don't know what that means. I rarely talk with anybody outside classes, and I never went to parties, "praxes" etc.
