Admission to physics in year 3 would apparently depend on secondary admission; I don’t see stats listed on admission to year 3 programs but the OP could contact the university for details.

I think “secondary admission” is not the right description. It’s not like the US where there’s a GPA cutoff. What they will do is ensure that those who specialize in year 2 get priority over people who continue to take a broad range of courses. As I noted above, the stronger students will tend to specialize.

So in US terms this is more like saying physics majors get priority over non-majors for upper level physics classes.
