Phase transitions in isotropic quantum antiferromagnets are associated with the condensation of bosonic triplet excitations. In three dimensional quantum antiferromagnets, such as TlCuCl$_3$, condensation can be either pressure or magnetic field induced. The corresponding magnetic order obeys universal scaling with thermal critical exponent $\phi$. Employing a relativistic quantum field theory, the present work predicts the emergence of multiple (three) universalities under combined pressure and field tuning. Changes of universality are signalled by changes of the critical exponent $\phi$. Explicitly, we predict the existence of two new exponents $\phi=1$ and $1/2$ as well as recovering the known exponent $\phi=3/2$. We also predict logarithmic corrections to the power law scaling.
