Part III of the Mathematical Tripos in Cambridge

AI Thread Summary
Admission to physics and math programs in the UK from EU countries can be competitive, with a strong emphasis on academic performance. Achieving a first-class honors degree and obtaining letters of recommendation from professors significantly enhances the chances of acceptance. While grades are crucial, additional achievements such as internships or awards may also be beneficial, although not always mandatory. The selection process often includes both academic evaluations and possibly interviews, but specific details can vary by institution. For more personalized insights, reaching out to individuals with experience in the application process, such as Redsummers, is recommended. Exploring related forum threads can provide further valuable information.

Im studying my bachelors degree in physics and math outside the UK, but inside the EU. I am just wondering how hard is it to get into this program? I probably could get funding from my home country so let's assume that money isn't a problem.

If I get my bachelors with 1st class honors and letters of recommendation from my professor how likely I'm going to get in? Is that enough or do the require some extra achievements like internship or awards?

There isn't much information on their site, so I am just wondering what kind of process they use for selecting who they are going to admit. Is there interviews or is it just based on grades and papers?

Try sending Redsummers a PM. He *may* have some useful things on the subject to share with you.

There's also many related threads on this forum, so look into those as well.

I certainly will.

And if someone else have something to share, I would really appreciate it.
 
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
