Considering applying to Oxford to study Physics? Join us for a day of finding out more - about Oxford, about Physics, and about what you can do to take your studies to the next level.
As well as including our Physics Access Officer's guide to Oxford admissions, this day of online workshops and lectures will also feature a lecture on cutting edge physics research and interactive problem-solving workshops, as well as a chance for you to put your questions to our panel of current Oxford Physics students.
We're delighted to be welcoming Dr Chiara Marletto to speak on "Beyond Quantum Computation: The Science of Can and Can't" for our research lecture.
Registration & Eligibility
You need to register in advance for this event. The deadline for registration is 16:00 on Monday 14th March.
The live event is open to UK students in Year 12 at state (non-fee-paying) schools, studying A levels (or equivalent) in Maths and Physics. However, anyone can register to receive the recording of the event. If the event becomes over-subscribed, we will prioritise students from schools with little or no history of applications to Oxford.
The registration form is available here:
