Practical lab sessions in physics will be open to all students for as many experiments as possible. You’ll be able to work safely on individual workstations, with the expansion of the labs into a bigger space.

You’ll use specialist equipment we’ve purchased for quick and easy cleaning – like state-of-the-art quick-clean keyboards. You’ll go paperless with electronic logbooks to record your practical sessions, your data, analysis, and conclusions – a crucial lab skill for any scientist. And you’ll be using a graphics tablet (one per workstation) so you can annotate images, diagrams and write notes and formulas by hand You’ll also notice there are webcams installed on your individual workstations too, so you can ask for help without even leaving your seat.

You’ll still be fully supported in person by academics, post-doctoral demonstrators, and technicians in the labs. And you can learn flexibly and independently with online sessions on experimental skills, data analysis, and report writing.
