Physics is a vast subject, and the best tool we have to understand our Universe and our place within it. During the week we will look at a variety of physics topics including finding exoplanets in astrophysics, building communications devices in electronics, creating particle detectors to investigate relativity and finding out about some of the weirder materials that make up our world such as superconductors and nanotubes. Through a series of lectures, practical investigations and research, we will explore the laws of our Universe!

Alongside academics, you’ll participate in information sessions preparing you for the transition to university, including student finance and student life Q&As. These insights will help you make informed decisions about university and prepare for a smooth transition when you get there.

The evenings will include team-building activities and opportunities to explore different aspects of student life, including an off-site trip and a celebratory meal on the final evening. And whilst we can’t fully replicate the independence of a university experience, you’ll get a taste of what it’s like to be a university student, helping you feel more confident and prepared for your future at a top institution.

After your summer school, we’ll provide transition support through an online event, personal statement support, and optional interview practice if you get an interview offer from Imperial.
