Quantum insights taster day

Are you a GCSE or A-Level student interested in physics? Join us for an interactive afternoon exploring the cutting-edge field of Quantum Physics, and discover what studying Physics at King's could be like for you.

Get hands-on with quantum research, hear short talks from King's research scientists, and chat to current Physics undergraduate students to find out what being a university student is really like. You can of course also explore the ‘Quantum Untangled’ exhibition during your visit. Whether you are dead set on studying Physics, or just interested in STEM subjects in general, this is the event for you!

This is a drop-in event.You are welcome to arrive any time that suits you during the afternoon. FREE ENTRY, BUT BOOKING ESSENTIAL.

Full Programme

Get hands on with quantum :13.00-17:30, Ground Floor
Get stuck-in with physics and explore real physics research in a series of interactive activities run by physics researchers.

Chat with a student : 13:00-18:00, Quantum Corner, Ground Floor
What is studying physics at university like? Are practical lab sessions fun? Where do you revise for your exams? Sit down with a group of current physics undergraduate students, and ask them whatever you want to know - no question too small or silly!

Meet a researcher : SGL Theatre, Level -1
Take a seat and listen to talks from King's academics. You'll get to hear about their world-leading quantum research, as well as what life is actually like as scientist at a University like King's. Talks will be running at set times throughout the afternoon – the full schedule will be released closer to the event.

Quantum Untangled Exhibition : Ground floor, first floor
This immersive exhibition, diving deep into quantum science and research will be open for the duration of this event for you to explore.
