Join us for our University Open Day

Physics and Astronomy will be throwing open its doors to prospective students as part of the University of Southampton Open Days this weekend.

Thousands of interested students are expected to flock to the University’s campuses in Southampton on Friday 5 July, and Saturday 6 July, to find out more about the wide range of programmes on offer.

Visitors to the Open Days will be able to see the excellent facilities, take part in tours and presentations, meet past and present students, talk to our experienced academics and learn more about the exciting career prospects that come from studying at Southampton.

As well as finding out about the main University facilities, potential Physics and Astronomy students will also be able to get an inside look at the unique opportunities studying a programme in Physics and Astronomy can offer.

“We have a long-standing reputation for world-leading research in the fields of astronomy, quantum, light and matter, and theoretical particle physics, and we are delighted that potential Physics and Astronomy students visiting our Open Day will be able to speak to the experts who are making this happen. They will also be able to take a tour of the excellent facilities we have on offer or marvel at our planetarium and laser light shows. They will also be able to hear about the strong links and key partnerships we have with major industries and the opportunities this provides for work placements and graduate jobs,” said Professor Phil Charles, Head of Physics and Astronomy.

“Choosing where to study and which programme to enrol on is a big step. We hope that by coming and seeing what we have to offer, talking to our current and former students and speaking to our academics who are leading experts in their field we can help prospective students make the right decision,” he added.

Open Day visitors will also be able to discover the lively social scene and the superb leisure facilities at Southampton. The Open Days run from 10am to 4pm.
