This week-long event is open to individual Year 10/11 students (no more than 2 at the most from any one school) who are committed to studying A-levels in Physics and Mathematics in following years. We are looking to accept applicants who can communicate their enthusiasm for the subject and can demonstrate from their previous academic studies that they have the ability to apply themselves to university-level physics themes. A supporting reference from their physics teacher is required.
Please note that we normally have more applications/requests than we can take and selection is based on the references/information provided on the request form. We expect students accepted onto this event to commit to attend ALL FIVE DAYS FROM 9.00am to 5.00pm.
Each day (9.00am to 5.00pm) involves a mixture of talks, workshops and activities and interacting with academic staff and current students. Pupils taking part will be expected to make their own travel arrangements to and from the University and for lunchtimes and other short breaks during each day. Pupils attending who do not live in the Birmingham area will also have to organise their own accommodation arrangements for the week. Please note that the University will only be responsible for pupils between 9.00am and 5.00pm, excluding lunchtimes.
Please see the programme (pdf) and report (pdf) from the Physics Experience Week 2019.
Information will be added to this page if and when a new event is scheduled to take place.
