How do stars work? What is the Universe made of? What are the latest discoveries made in particle accelerators? What career could you pursue in science? This online course for current Year 10s (S4 Scotland, Year 11 NI) will give you the opportunity to hear from researchers leading the way so you can answer these questions for yourself.
On this course, join the experts from Royal Holloway, University of London for three days of online activities, engaging lectures and a fun physics quiz! Meet like-minded individuals from all across the UK who you’ll team up with and, using the materials we’ll send before the course start date, take part in activities together.
Course session timings: 13 - 15 July 2021. Each day: 09:45 – 15.30 hrs.
(Please be aware, as this and our Astrophysics course in April are both held by the Physics Department at Royal Holloway, University of London, there may be some overlap in course content.)
