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 the past, students have:
- Conducted practical experiments, collected and analysed data.
- Encountered new mathematical techniques in a lecture-led teaching session.
- Learned the basics of the Python programming language and created computer simulations.
- Presented the results of their experiment in a group presentation.
- Finished 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 2025 is still to be confirmed. 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.
