Induction

Course induction for incoming undergraduate students will begin on Monday 23 September with a welcome and introduction from the year leaders and the Head of School, Prof. Mark Fromhold. Afterwards, you will meet your personal tutor and student mentor to talk about your course and arrange your weekly tutorial sessions.   

The times and locations for these events, as well as the rest of the induction programme for physics, will be available here later in the summer.   

Computing and textbooks

Computing resources are available in the school and all libraries, but we recommend bringing your own laptop or similar device to university if possible. If you’re considering buying a laptop for your studies, please see our advice about suitable equipment. If you are unable to afford a device, you can apply for supporting funds or short-term laptop loans.   

An electronic copy of the physics textbook will be provided at induction. Other textbooks are available through the library, either in physical copy or, for many books, electronically.
