Take note (3F)

A student must normally achieve a weighted mean of 59.5 or above at Level Three in order to continue as a student for the Degree of MPhys in Physics with Philosophy (PHYU30). A student who fails to satisfy this requirement may be required by the Head of Department to become instead a student for the Degree of BSc in Physics and Philosophy (PHYU14).
