What is the Physics TSP programme like?
The Physics talented Student programme extends the physics course by special seminars and project work, together with a major excursion to a location of interest. The seminar work has a theme each year. The special project work introduces the students to research activities and other staff members in the School. The aim is to broaden your knowledge of physics and give you an insight into how physicists think and how a real research project is tackled. Projects last year included studies of Quantum Teleportation, variation of the Fine Structure Constant, self-organised Clouds, and a variety of Astrophysical projects. Entry into the TSP programme for first year students is via an invitation from the Dean of Science on the basis of UAI score. In special circumstances, Physics may allow a small additional number of highly achieving students to participate in Physics TSP activities. For more information see the Physics TSP web page.
