Physics Day

Faculty of Science and Engineering

This is a free event for everybody interested in Physics, particularly for schools and colleges pupils who are considering to study the topic at the University level. The day will be rhythmed by experimentation engaging the direct participation of the audience, with rotating seats and sticks, colliding hovercrafts, chasing free-falling objects, bending lasers, detecting γ  rays, etc.
Attendance is free but pre-registration is required. You can also <A CLASS="external text" HREF="mailto:f.laussy@wlv.ac.uk" TARGET="_blank" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">contact us</A> for any questions you may have.
