Physics and Philosophy at uni

_.lucyg._

I’ve applied and got offers back for Physics and Philosophy as well as Physics with Philosophy for my undergrad degree at uni.

I know it’s such a niche subject choice but it combines the parts of science and philosophy which I love most.
I was wondering if anyone else was looking into the same course because no one else I know has any interest in it.

Ah cool! I was also looking at theoretical physics but liked the philosophy aspect too much. Good luck!

All 5 which was crazy. Kings, Bristol, York, Royal Holloway and Lincoln. I think because it’s a less popular course and I applied in October gave me better odds.

congrats on your offers! I'm also applying for physics and philosophy for 3 of my 5 UCAS choices, one of them being kings (2 of my others are theoretical physics - though my application hasn't been submitted yet!).
