Becoming a chartered physicist

Okay, this may look like it's in the wrong forum, but it isn't. I'm aiming to get in Cambridge to study Mathematics, going with the Mathematics with Physics option for my first year. After this I will take the applied options (i.e. all the physics stuff) I can, provided that it interests me or I need it.

Am I able to become a chartered physicist by this method? Do I NEED to become a chartered physicist at all in order to do high end research?

I'm going to be taking computational courses and the non-examinable theoretical physics courses as well to further my skills with physics, if that helps.
Maths is a great path for people going into physics. Taking maths with physics you can switch into physics tripos in year 2, 3 or 4! Also yeah maths at cambridge has tonnes of theoretical physics applied modules so if it's more the theoretical path you want to go down, then maths at cambridge will set you up very well. I haven't looked into the specifics of becoming chartered though.
