Applicants from outside Oxford applying for the MSc should follow the usual Oxford University postgraduate admission procedure explained here. Applications should be submitted for the second gathered field deadline in January (12 noon on Wednesday 28th January 2026 for entry in October 2026).
Oxford applicants currently enrolled on the MMath, MPhys or MPhysPhil course who wish to transfer to the MMathPhys should fill in the form below by the same deadline (12 noon on Wednesday 28th January 2026 for entry in October 2026).
The deadline for internal students to apply for the MMAthPhys for the year 2026/27 has now passed.
If you would still like to be considered for the MMAthPhys, please discuss it with your current tutor and email mathematical.physics@maths.ox.ac.uk , giving details of:
- Name
- College email address (which must be in the format @email, not in the @email format, otherwise you won't get an application receipt notification)
- Current Course
- College
- Tutor Name
Tutor Email
After completing your Part B exams in the summer, the admissions panel will consider your Part A and Part B examination results and conclude if the conditions have been met to transfer to the MMathPhys. You must obtain an average of 68 in Parts A & B combined to join the MMathPhys.
By the end of July, you will receive a letter via e-mail informing you if you have been sucessful in transferring to the MMathPhys, or if you have been unsucessful in meeting the conditions and will therefore carry on with your current course of study
If you are successful in transferring to the MMathPhys, you will decide on whether you wish to accept the offer or stay on your original course of study. Your college office will also be informed if you are successful in transferring to the MMathPhys, in the event that you do wish to transfer and will then need to complete a 'Change of Circumstances' form.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have made a last minute decision, we do not recommend that you transfer any later than 2 weeks after the start of Michaelmas term, as it will be very difficult to catch-up on the course so far after that point.
