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: 

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. \ \ Search our courses in Clearing

[## Undergraduate Open Day

Start your university journey. Find where you belong. Friday, June 26 (9:00-16:00) Saturday, June 27 (9:00-16:00)](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/study/meet/undergraduate-open-day/ )

Course overview

Unravel the universe's deepest mysteries with a degree in theoretical physics.

During this course, you'll gain a strong foundation across core physics disciplines. You'll explore theoretical and experimental physics, studying modules from our Physics BSc courses. You'll then specialise in theoretical physics and study:

These modules are unique to our Theoretical Physics degrees.

You’ll gain hands-on experience in our high-spec facilities, gaining practical skills for your career. You'll work on projects, applying theoretical knowledge to practical challenges. These could include particle sensing, chemical detection, and other real-world applications.

You'll graduate with an accredited degree and an interdisciplinary skillset in-demand with employers. This course is also ideal for someone interested in 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 BSc

Theoretical Physics BSc

Physics with Astrophysics BSc

BSc or MPhys?

Theoretical Physics is offered at two levels:

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.
