Schools Which university is the best for a physics degree

AI Thread Summary
When considering the best universities in England for a physics degree, particularly with a focus on astrophysics, several institutions are frequently mentioned. Manchester is a popular choice, although recent increases in entry requirements may deter some applicants. Birmingham is also suggested as a viable alternative. The discussion emphasizes that the best university can vary based on specific interests within physics, such as theoretical physics, condensed matter, or particle physics. For those interested in astrophysics, it is recommended to explore programs that offer strong research opportunities and faculty expertise in that area. Overall, the choice of university should align with individual academic goals and the specific branch of physics one wishes to pursue.
