Physics Education Conference

This annual event, from the School of Physics at the University of Birmingham and the Institute of Physics, provides an opportunity for those involved in all aspects of physics education to come together, share best practice and be part of our physics learning community. 

We welcome school teachers, academics in HE with an interest in physics pedagogy, physics pedagogy coaches, physics education researchers (including those studying for masters and doctoral degrees) and those involved with initial teacher education in physics. The conference has 3 strands:

  1. The Cutting Edge of Physics- Exploring ways of connecting new research in physics to learning
  2. Skills, Careers and Levelling Up in Physics- Exploring the opportunities and careers related to physics to improve pathways for those studying the subject.
  3. Physics Education Research (PER)- Showcasing the latest academic research in the field and relating it to secondary classrooms and the HE teaching space.
