Source caveat: the 2025 report combines Physics and Physics & Philosophy. Its first page says “2025 admission”, while its final page identifies 2026 and deferred 2027 offers. We retain the admissions-exercise year and do not infer a single entry cohort or offer rate. [3] ↗

Assessment requirements and verification gaps are shown above. This Beta does not assign an admissions advantage or probability uplift to competition medals: that relationship has not been verified here. Competition-specific evidence is pending review.
UAT-UK states that ESAT has no pass/fail score and is considered alongside other application information. [9] ↗
