What these subjects say about you
This combination keeps almost every major STEM degree genuinely open, and it tends to suit students who enjoy both the abstract (mathematical reasoning) and the constructive (building working systems). The real decision most students with this combination face isn't whether they're qualified for a good course — it's whether their actual excitement lies more in computing, physics, or the mathematics underneath both.
Degrees worth considering
Computer Science
The most direct destination, and one of the most employable degrees in the UK — your Physics and Maths background will help with the more theoretical modules.
Physics
A strong choice if understanding the universe excites you more than building software — equally mathematical, differently applied.
Mathematics and Computer Science
Lets you go deep on both rather than choosing — increasingly the preferred route for top tech and quantitative finance careers.
Electrical & Electronic Engineering
Worth considering if you want your computing knowledge to extend into hardware and physical systems, not just software.
Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning
If 'how do we make machines smarter' is your most exciting question, dedicated AI degrees go deeper on exactly that from day one.
