Hi all,
I'm a 24 years old Industrial Engineer (Logisitics and Production). Due to a mishap in my career start I had to accept a job in a a capital markets bank in order to avoid a long period unemployment and to make a little money. But I hate finance, and I hate what I'm doing.always loved physics, specialy thermodynamics and fluid mecanics. and I really want to go further in studies as I'd like to use my brain to its limit everyday. I understand that research are suitable for this. but I'm afraid to be penalized by my current job in my application specially that ( and I regret it so bitterly ) I deliberately didn't get good mark back in the days I studied (2:1)... but my passion for these subjects is over description ...
Is it possible for me to get a position in a UK university in subjects such us Msc Physics, Msc Aerospace ???

Hi Alec - hopefully someone with experience can answer you, but my personal opinion is that your banking job won't be too much of a problem. And a 2:1 is a perfectly acceptable grade for many MSc courses.

Have a look at some courses and see what the entry requirements are: http://www.findamasters.com/search/courses.aspx?DID=11&SAID=62

Good luck!

THANKS A MILLIONNNN!!!!! I was so desperate to get an answer !!! I know I'm a little off deadline for many universities in the UK but I never had enough time to prepare for it. now that you tell me that there is no problem with it it gives me the boost I need to accelerate my application process! I'll never forget your help!

but another question: my working experience is merely a year a half. should I even mention it in my application?

I believe that honestly is the best policy - but hopefully someone with experience will be able to give you some advice!
