This article is more of a compare and contrast between the US and UK education systems as a whole and very little if not zero on the undergraduate physics curriculum itself.

I majored in EECS, an engineering major, and I only took 3 semesters of physics. And so to disagree with a point in the article, I loved my out of major and out of engineering classes. At Berkeley you’re limited to 4 years and summer school. There were classes I wanted to take in my major that I couldn’t. But I took a lot and after 4 years, I was wiped and more would have been torture.

I prefer the US system. It’s more flexible.
