Whats the best, anyway? Do you have some magical meter stick in which to quantitatively measure the programs? The best program is the one were you get accepted, and has interesting work to do!

It's just here, to do a phd in applied maths or theoretical physics at cambridge its is very nearly a 100% prerequisite to have done their master course and the same goes for imperial college london too (while both say they do consider students without a postgraduate master for theoretical physics phds they also say that in practice only 1 person every few years gets an offer from them that haven't done a postgrad master)
Theoretical physics is a branch of physics that deals with the development of mathematical models and theories to explain and predict the behavior of physical systems.
A top theoretical physics master program would typically have a strong curriculum that covers a wide range of topics, experienced and renowned faculty, access to cutting-edge research facilities, and a history of producing successful graduates who have made significant contributions to the field.
Some of the highly ranked theoretical physics master programs include those offered by the University of Cambridge, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of California-Berkeley, Harvard University, and Stanford University.
Graduates of theoretical physics master programs can pursue careers in research, academia, and industry. They can work in fields such as astrophysics, particle physics, quantum mechanics, and cosmology.
Admission to top theoretical physics master programs is highly competitive, with a limited number of spots available and a large number of qualified applicants. Applicants are typically evaluated based on their academic background, research experience, letters of recommendation, and statement of purpose.
