Applying for Maths & Physics joint degree at the same time as MPhys

So for most of my uni options I'm planning on applying for MPhys and my personal statement is being tailored to suit that specifically. However, I'm really interested in the Warwick joint maths and physics degree and wonder if it's possible to apply for that when the rest of my options are straight physics. I don't want to change my personal statement too much since I also want to apply to Oxford for physics and don't want to be hindered from that. Any advice?

Some Unis will allow you to send them a 2nd PS if you have a course choice that not the entire focus of your UCAS PS (Bath as one example) - other simply wont accept them (Bristol as an example).

Email Warwick and ask them what their policy is.
If they say No, with Maths and Physics so closely related, you could probably just throw in a few Maths references into your PS, and mention the relationship between Physics and other science/maths etc, without it looking that obvious to the 'just Physics' Unis.
