Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the eligibility of a BSc Physics student from Imperial College applying to the Math III master's course. The consensus is that with high grades (80%+), the chances of acceptance are favorable, especially for applied mathematics modules. Concerns about mathematical preparedness can be mitigated through self-study and reviewing relevant Part II courses. Overall, applying is recommended for students with strong academic backgrounds.

PREREQUISITES
  • BSc in Physics or a related field
  • Understanding of mathematical concepts relevant to applied mathematics
  • Familiarity with self-study techniques for advanced mathematics
  • Knowledge of Imperial College's course structure and requirements
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specific modules offered in the Math III master's course
  • Review the Part II courses to assess mathematical content

Hi

I am a Bsc physics w/theoretical physics student at imperial college. I was wondering if anyone knew the chances of getting on the maths III masters course applying from a bsc in physics. Is it even worth applying? My grades are quite high (80% +) but I am worried the courses we have done are not mathematical enough and self study is have to prove.

Thanks

I got in with slightly lower grades than yours after a BSc in Physics. I guess it depends on what modules you want to take, if you're looking at the pure maths ones, then maybe you aren't prepared, but if you're looking at their applied maths ones, I'd say a BSc from Imperial should definitely give you great preparation.

If I were you, I would apply - you'll have a good chance of getting an offer with your grades. If you still feel uncomfortable about your mathematics, just have a look at the Part II courses and see how they compare, you can always do extra reading in the holidays prior to the course.
 
Was that from Imperial as well? How did you find the course? I wouldn't take any pure maths just the physics ones. Thanks for your help!
