## Clearing - How to apply
### What is Clearing?
Each year, universities may have spaces left on their courses after the application window has closed in June.
UCAS Clearing is your opportunity to snap up one of these places, even if you didn't apply to the university prior to the June deadline.
It also gives you a second chance to go to university if you didn't get the grades you needed for your firm and insurance offers.
### How do I get in touch?
Our Clearing entry requirements may differ from those advertised. Please contact our friendly advisers to find out if you’re eligible for a place. You can get in touch through our hotlines:
- For domestic students please call us on [0800 073 5050](tel:08000735050)
- If you’re an International student calling from outside the UK, call: [+44 191 222 5000](tel:00441912225000)
**Not available in Clearing** \
\
This course is not available in Clearing 2025. \
\
This means there are no spaces available for Clearing 2025. If you can't find vacancies in your original course or subject area, try exploring other subjects in a related field. \

## Course overview
Our Theoretical Physics MPhys degree extends our [Theoretical Physics BSc](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/undergraduate/degrees/f345) by a year.
This extra year is for your integrated Master's and includes an extended project.
Compared to our Theoretical Physics BSc, our Masters degree offers more in-depth study in the final year. You'll also work with academic staff on an extended project to perform research level investigations.
You’ll gain hands-on experience in our high-spec facilities and develop practical skills for a career.
You'll graduate with an accredited degree and skills in-demand with employers. This course is ideal for anyone interested in pursuing research or further study in physics or mathematics.
## Flexible degree structure
Our flexible degree structure allows you to tailor your studies. All students follow the same curriculum in Stage 1, with specialisations beginning in Stage 2. You can transfer between Physics disciplines until the end of Stage 1. You can also switch between the BSc and MPhys of your chosen discipline until the end of Stage 2:
[Physics MPhys](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/undergraduate/degrees/f303/)
[Physics with Astrophysics MPhys](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/undergraduate/degrees/f3fm/)
#### BSc or MPhys?
Theoretical Physics is offered at two levels:
- [three-year Bachelor of Science (BSc)](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/undergraduate/degrees/f345)
- four-year Master of Physics (MPhys)
Our MPhys degree has an extra year of advanced study at Master's level. You’ll study more advanced topics and work on an extended project. You’ll learn about research methodology and work with experts in their field.

## Additional information
### Advice on maths and physics requirements
If you don’t think you will have the exact mathematics and science qualifications referred to in our entry requirements by the time you need them, you may not be sure what to do.
- If you have A-Level qualifications (or equivalent) but not in Maths and/or Physics, you should apply for [Physics with Foundation Year](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/undergraduate/degrees/f304/). This course gives access to all of our Physics, Astrophysics and Theoretical Physics programmes.
- If you have A-levels (or equivalent) but don't meet the required grade(s) in Maths and Physics, contact us for advice. We may decide to consider you for Foundation Year entry, or it may be that this course is not the best option for you.
- If you have relevant qualifications but not at A-level (or equivalent) standard, you should apply for either Stage 1 or the Foundation Year. The Admissions Tutor will assess your application and offer you the most suitable course. Your offer may include a requirement to complete pre-entry Maths and/or Physics courses and examinations. It may also involve an admissions interview.
- If it has been some time since you completed your qualifications, you should apply for either Stage 1 or the Foundation Year. The Admissions Tutor will assess your application and offer you the most suitable course. Your offer may include a requirement to complete pre-entry Maths and/or Physics courses and examinations. It may also involve an admissions interview.
- If you are still not sure, don’t worry. Whatever you apply for, our Admissions Tutors will help you decide which is the best route for you. They may, therefore, make you an offer for a different course from the one you apply for (eg Foundation Year entry instead of Year 1 entry).

## How to apply
### Apply through UCAS
To apply for undergraduate study at Newcastle University, you must use the online application system managed by the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). All UK schools and colleges, and a small number of EU and international establishments, are registered with UCAS. You will need:
- the UCAS name and institution codes for Newcastle University (NEWC/N21)
- the UCAS code for the course you want to apply for
- the UCAS 'buzzword' for your school or college
If you are applying independently, or are applying from a school or college which is not registered to manage applications, you will still use the Apply system. You will not need a buzzword.
