THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED
The Department of Physics at Imperial College London is again hosting a full day Particle Physics Masterclass.
We invite Sixth form Physics students and their teachers to come and find out about the exciting world of Experimental Particle Physics from one of the largest Particle Physics research groups in the country. We have run the Masterclass successfully in a similar format for a number of years.
The day will start with an Introduction to the Group and the experiments and talks about current hot topics in Particle Physics. After lunch, the programme will continue and the students can have a tour of the current undergraduate projects followed by further talks and discussions.
Registration
Reservations, indicating the number of students and accompanying teachers, can be made using our online registration form.
Please note, this event will be free of charge, A maximum number of 10 students per school can attend, students may also register to attend individually.
