Our two-week residential programme in the heart of London is a great way to develop your subject knowledge in physics and add weight to a future university application. You'll take your knowledge to the next level through a challenging academic programme that includes specialist workshops, lectures and seminars. Stay in a real student accommodation on our South Kensington Campus. And enjoy a packed evening and weekend social programme.
This subject focuses on the physics and mathematics of a central concept in the physical sciences where you will learn to look at a problem or physical situation using three different tools: the mathematics of calculus; performing experiments; and simulating the situation using a computer.? ? You will then combine your newly honed programming skills with theoretical knowledge to complete a team-based project.?
In 2024 students will:
- Conduct practical experiments, collect and analyse data.
- Encounter new mathematical techniques in a lecture-led teaching session.
- Learn the basics of the Python programming language and create computer simulations.
- Present the results of their experiment in a group presentation.
- Finish the week with a real understanding of oscillations and their importance throughout the natural sciences.
In the second week, students from all learning streams come together to use their knowledge to find solutions to a real-world challenge. Previous topics have included; robotics for health, wearable technology, future vision and space.
Students will also be able to participate in university and careers masterclasses, alongside a packed evening and weekend social programme.
The programme fee for 2024 is £6,600. The programme cost includes three freshly prepared meals per day. For full day trips, you will be provided with a packed lunch.
Please note that payment is made in GBP. The above fee does not include any associated currency exchange or credit card fees.
