We are the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the AV视频, and we have a large and well established Outreach Programme. Our aim is to encourage more students to study physics at A-level and beyond, and to offer support to those teaching physics.
Who are we
The AV视频 is part of a network of universities all working together to promote physics through developing and delivering high-quality outreach.
What we do
- We offer a range of FREE outreach activities to local secondary schools and A-level colleges (only).
- Unfortunately, we can no longer offer outreach activities for primary schools or their students.
- All our activities are available here at the AV视频 campus in Falmer, Brighton, allowing your students to experience a University campus
- Talks are also available to be delivered at your school or college, if within a half-hour drive from the AV视频 in Brighton..
- Our outreach activities are delivered by either our outreach officer, our researchers, or our trained postgraduate and undergraduate students - all serving as wonderful role models for the next generation of physicists.
- Due to the undergraduate teaching workload of the outreach team, bookings can only be made for activities outside of the University teaching begin and end dates.
As a result, potential dates for outreach activities are in the range:- 9th December 2024 - 24th January 2025
- 14th April 2025 - 19th September 2025
- 15th December 2025 - 23rd January 2026
- 23rd March 2026 - 10th April 2026
- 4th May 2026 - 18th September 2026
- You can book onto our activities via this website.
If you are an undergraduate or postrgraduate student in the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the AV视频, and wish to get involved in the outreach programme, please follow this link for further details.
