During the first week of the Easter break (30th March - 2nd April) the department welcomed 12 students to our annual work experience programme. The programme is option to year 10-12 students with an interest in Physics, with priority for local students and those from under-represented groups*. The programme forms part of the department's wider outreach work to broaden access to physics.

Three members of the department were invited to attend STEM for Britain at the House of Commons on Tuesday 17^th March to present their research posters.

Agrima Agarwal (Phd Student, Ultrafast and Terahertz Photonics Group), Edward Butler-Caddle (Ultrafast and Terahertz Photonics Group) and Sahl Rowther (Research Fellow, Astronomy & Astrophysics Group)  applied to present their research at the event and were accepted following a rigorous process.

We are pleased to share that the Department of Physics will be hosting a 2026 Sutton Trust Physics and Astronomy Summer School, led by Dr Lauren Doyle.

Our work experience will provide students with a broad insight into physics and what it would be like to work in a busy university physics department. You鈥檒l spend time with our highly skilled research and technical staff learning about real-life physics problems and exciting research projects.

Applications are open to students in Year 10-12, and close at midnight on Sunday 1st March 2026.
