Points of entry for Physics with Mathematics MPhys
Year 1
Entry requirements for Physics and Astronomy and Physics at University of Southampton
Entry requirements are the formal requirements students need to meet to be considered for a place on a university course. But, each year many universities accept students with lower grades. The bar chart below shows the actual UCAS tariff points of students currently on this course.
A*,A,A
Required subjects for Physics with Mathematics MPhys at University of Southampton
A*AA-AAA including physics (minimum grade A) and either mathematics or further mathematics (minimum grade A)
or
AAAB-AABB including physics (minimum grade A) and either mathematics or further mathematics (minimum grade A).
Offers typically exclude General Studies and Critical Thinking. A pass in the science Practical is required where it is separately endorsed. Successful applicants will be invited to visit the department and attend an optional interview. The optional interview may lead to the lower offer. Applicants who have not studied mathematics/further mathematics and/or physics at A-level can apply for the Engineering/Physics/Mathematics Foundation Year.
If you are taking an EPQ in addition to three A levels, you will receive the following offer in addition to the standard A level offer: AAA including physics (minimum grade A) and either mathematics or further mathematics (minimum grade A), plus grade A in the EPQ.
We are committed to ensuring that all students with the potential to succeed, regardless of their background, are encouraged to apply to study with us. The additional information gained through contextual data allows us to recognise a student’s potential to succeed in the context of their background and experience.
Students who are highlighted in this way will be made an offer which is lower than the typical offer for that programme.

Excellent course. Teaching was almost always to a very high standard. Lab work was very enjoyable and varied, helping to develop a variety of skills (e.g coding). As the years progress you get more optional modules and are able to figure out what niche you are interested in. Southampton itself is well connected with various companies that employ physics graduates. I have been able to complete placements/internships through schemes supported by the uni. Only thing I would suggest is to encourage the department to be more flexible in allowing students to complete a "Year in Industry", as the current model is for Master's students only, and only lasts six months. Almost every other Russell group university with a physics department offers this, and it is a very successful scheme that gets students in the workplace. I had to jump through many hoops and admin issues to get the department to approve my year long placement and I think it should be more streamlined for future students. read more

I think the university and the admin are not welcoming the international students, they just look at them as a bundle of money for their university. read more
