UCAS foundation courses for physics!?

I've applied for MPhys courses at Durham, Bath, Bristol, Warwick and York (Physics and philosophy for York) - Warwick and Durham say that my year of entry for physics is year one but all of the others say that I start on a foundation year.

The course codes are F303 (and F3VM for York) and looking on their websites it doesn't mention any foundation year with these courses... not sure what's going on because I don't particularly want to do a foundation year but I seem to be the only one with this problem.

Does anyone know what's going on and can help me out?

Phone the Universities concerned. Only they can tell you why they've made this decision and explain exactly what they are offering you. The most likely explanation is that all Physics students start on a BSc program and only get 'promoted' to the 4 year pathway on the basis of their results in the first two years. Phone and check.
