Pre-University Physics Course

Taste University life for a few days this summer

In June 2012 we are running our very popular Pre-University Physics Course at Exeter. This course is intended for students who are, or have been, studying Physics or Physical Sciences at pre-university level and who are considering applying to study Physics or related subjects at university.

The course will provide a taste of university life in all its diversity. During the three day programme students will attend lectures, visit the research and teaching laboratories of the Department of Physics, live in University student accommodation and make use of our recreational, sporting and social facilities.
