I'm Sohail from Pakistan, did MS PHYSICS but now thinking to do MS data science. can you suggest to me an affordable university offering a data science degree to students with having physics background?

[@bereniceg777]

Hey is it possible to do a master's in data science after masters in physics? Are you doing your masters in data science note since it's been almost 5 months after you posted this question...I too am a physics student and thinking of the transition... Would be glad if you could suggest something

[@carti8778]

@@bereniceg777 yes , its possible. data science is the most interdisciplinary branch among all disciplines

[@AstroPatel]

@@carti8778 I'd argue physics or math is the most interdisciplinary, since you can go into DS from Physics/Math more easily than going the other way around.

[@carti8778]

@@AstroPatel yes bcz physics (college physics) is generally harder than data science. But I would always suggest to study CS/applied math if one wants to work in data science.

[@AstroPatel]

@@carti8778 agreed. I say this as someone who just did their MS in physics and is not looking for a job in DS 😅. I have a lot of the mathematical foundations and a fair bit of experience with ML, but it's so hard marketing myself

Can I switch my career in ms SQL server from Physics?

[@insane2093]

Is it possible

I also did MS PHYSICS but now thinking to do MS data science.
