As outlined in the 'How to apply' section, there are a number of Visit Days that prospective students will be invited to attend during the Autumn and Spring terms.
These Visit Days are specifically aimed at those of you who have applied to study in the department, and your visit will include an interview with a member of staff. The day also includes an introductory talk by the admissions tutor, a tour of both the Department and campus including student accommodation, and a mini-lecture on a particular physics topic. A buffet is provided for parents, while students experience a university dining room.
During the interview, you will be asked some general questions about your application, and some technical questions. An advice sheet is available for you to download - Interview Tips and Advice (PDF
, 46kb) - and will be sent to you along with your interview invitation.
The Visit Days usually take place on Thursdays. You can find out when the next Visit Day is by contacting the department.
