Oxford, Cambridge or Imperial for Physics?

Cambridge master race

Any particular reason other than because you go there? :3

I'm in year 11

Which University offers the best course? Which offers the best career prospects? I like particle physics as a major choice and a few other options as well. I like the tutorial system at Oxford and Cambridge and the smaller city atmosphere. Imperial has higher entry requirements although this is likely to fiddle the UCAS system of Firm and Insurance choices (Universities give higher entry offers as this makes them appear more selective and prestigious, making you choose them on your application as your primary choice)

I'm also open to other University suggestions like Nottingham.

Pretty much all UK physics courses are accredited by the Institute of Physics to meet a certain standard.

Discriminating between them will require visiting them, but to be honest a physics degree from an RG university alone is pretty good. But when it comes to deciding, look as to which location and university you prefer, the courses themselves won't vary much.

But do note that if you go for Cambridge, you have to do Natural Sciences which means you won't be able to specialise into physics from day one, you'll have to do a year or two of chemistry or other science-related modules as well.
