Schools Outreach
Crystals Poster Competition
The Oxford Department of Physics with Diamond Light Source and ISIS Neutron and Muon Source are inviting you to design a poster about crystals!
This competition is open to students in years 4-7 and will be judged in two categories:
• Years 4 & 5
• Years 6 & 7.
The deadline for submitting posters is 23rd April 2018.
While the competition is running, we're going to put up loads of cool videos, pictures and info all about crystals - so keep checking back!

Tutoring and mentoring for local Y12 students
Oxford’s Department of Physics is partnering with the Institute of Physics to offer a brand new programme of tutoring and mentoring to local school students who want to study physics at university. The 14-month programme, Levelling Up: Physics, will provide 40 sixth-formers with a programme of dedicated physics tuition from a specialist A-level tutor. The students will also be part of a mentoring programme run by the Department of Physics; students will be paired with undergraduate physicists who can provide insight into what it’s like to study physics at university.

What are you currently working on?
March is a busy time for planning events and next week we have Physics: lab to life. We are also starting a new project with the IOP called Levelling Up which aims to help prepare under-represented sixth-form students for studying physics at university.
