Hello Herman!

I can study 14 month more, after my graduation, then i can be BA in
Computer Science or in Software Engerneering.

Ah, so the students can't get deep in physics?

Oh yes, in computer science it helps to know about physics to understand
how it works. Especially about Electrical knowledge.

Even if you do math, it's not equal that you understand physics.

Ofcause.
