1. You will use Griffiths' ''Introduction to Quantum Mechanics'' no doubt, so I suggest getting a copy now and getting familiar with the concepts waaay before you start doing it at Uni, because its an absolute mind fuck at first. I can send you an e-copy by email if you want as well. If you know how to integrate and how complex numbers work then you can handle the mathematics I'm sure. 

2. What you should stay the hell away from untill you're post graduate is Quantum Chromo Dynamics - the rest is fine.

3. Any Scandanavian Uni is very good - I was just asking because the standards vary quite dramatically depending on where you study - I was just curious.

 

1. Hmm, I might take this advice into consideration. I'm not terribly busy right now but I think I'll wait until later before I look into it. I have a full year before I have the first course in quantum mechanics so I think I'll look into it next summer... Which leads me to believe that I have no need for the book any time soon but thanks anyway :) Also, I'm quite sure I'll have no trouble with the mathematics, I probably understand mathematics better than physics.

2. I have no idea what that is, but if it seems interesting, I don't think I can resist taking a course in it :P

3. Ah, didn't think of that. But judging by what I've heard, should be true.

Ooops, I meant Quantum Field Theory.

I'm pretty sure the mathematics there would be a problem for anyone
