Hi I'm currently in the lower 6th and if I'm able to, going to study Physics in some way, shape or form at university.
I'm currently studying Physics, Maths, Chemistry and Further Maths at AS and will be taking them all for A2, I'm predicted A's in all of them.
I was wondering which universities are the best for Physics, APART from Cambridge and Oxford, as I do not have any wish to study there... I've looked at Durham, Birmingham, Glasgow and Imperial so far, and I think I like Durham the most at the moment, as Imperial is too expensive, Glasgow is a massive distance from where I am currently (East of England) and Birmingham has fairly low entry standards (which leads me to the conclusion the teaching won't be quite as good; correct me if I'm wrong).
I have one other question too, if I was intending on doing an MSc and then a PHD at university, then hopefully going on into research, which course would be most beneficial for me at MSc level, Physics, Physics with Maths, Physics and Particle Physics and Cosmology, or Physics and Astrophysics? I am extremely interested in more the fundamental physics as opposed to creating new technologies etc.
Any replies are extremely appreciated :)
