Physics: An Online Interactive Taster Day With The University Of Sheffield

Experience Physics at the University of Sheffield from your own home!

This virtual taster session delivered by the University of Sheffield gives you an insight into studying physics at university. The session is for Y12 students studying A Level Physics and Mathematics with an interest in studying Physics at University.

Did you know that performing experimental science is possible from the comfort of your own home? During an interactive session, our dedicated teaching staff will be on hand to guide you through experiments to measure and study different sources of magnetic fields – all you need is curiosity and a smartphone!

After a quick break, Dr Richard Parker will then explore the topic of the Sun in its infancy with you, and to finish off the session, there will be a chance for you to find out more about being a physics student at the University of Sheffield as you take part in a Q+A. You will have the chance to talk to some of our current undergraduate students, a member of our admissions team, and a careers expert, who will all be on hand to answer any queries you might have about studying physics at university.

This session is now fully booked.
