New observatory coming to university campus!
We are delighted to announce that we are in the process of building a observatory in the heart of the university campus. The building work started last month and is located at Cryfield Barn. We will be posting progress updates along with some images from site throughout the build process.
Work experience opportunities now available!
Each year, our department offers a small number of work experience placements for students in Years 10-12. The placement will provide a broad insight into physics and what it would be like to work in a busy university physics department.
Applications are now invited for work experience taking place 11-14 April 2022 (inclusive).
