    What’s the closest engineering major to physics?

    Engineering Physics is probably the closest match, followed by Nuclear Engineering and then my field, Aerospace Engineering, which normal people call rocket science. Most of them actually. On the scale of theoretical to practical it would be Physics -> Applied Physics -> Engineering.

    Does Cambridge offer physics?

    The Department of Physics in Cambridge offers both three- and four-year courses in physics, which form the two basic routes to a first degree with specialisation in physics. The three-year course is designed for students with a deep interest in the subject but who may not intend to become professional physicists.

    Is Cambridge or Oxford better for physics?

    There’s a ‘traditional’ response here, which is ‘go to Cambridge for sciences, go to Oxford for humanities’. In reality the physics courses are both exceptionally good (in my PhD I work with other students who are graduates of the two courses) – but in fact they aren’t really comparable, as another respondent noted.
