Does the mathematical physicist Roger Penrose have any Physics degree?

The online biographies mention only his maths degrees as his undergraduate and Ph.D degrees, and generally his area of study as student was pure maths.

Does anyone know how he became physicist? By self-study?

All I know is that he has a BSc (First class honours) Mathematics and a PhD in Geometry I think.

He did take some physics courses.

The overlap between theoretical physics and mathematics is great so it is not uncommon to publish in both fields.
