The course at Oxford
You may apply to most colleges for either a three year (BA) or four year (M.Phys.) course.
Information on the course is available in the university prospectus, or online in the undergraduate course handbook, which can be found on the Oxford Physics Teaching Page.
College comparison
Note
- These data do not include candidates who requested to have their name removed from the published results. However, there are generally only a handful of these candidates across the university.'
- As they are based on only one year's results, figures for some colleges are calculated from only two or three candidates.
