Mathematics/Physics v Math v Physics

[keithdowle]

So i have applied for and been accepted on an MPhys Mathematics and Physics degree. I'm really happy but am also a little unsure as to whether i have made the right choice.

My goal is to go straight from my MPhys to a PhD in Theoretical Physics.

I have looked on the internet and advice seems to differ as to what is the best combination

I have the option to change my choice early on in my first semester so i ask you this. What is my best option for a PhD in Theoretical Physics? A joint Mathematics and Physics degree? Or single Mathematics or Physics?

Cheers.

Why not tell us more about the subjects in this joint course.

I think A mathematical physics program could definitely be advantageous over just a physics degree but I am basing that on the name of the degree alone: we Know nothing about your program! what school is it? or how is it structured? give us some more information and maybe we can give you some real advice :)
