Hear from our student blogger Harriet, a 2nd year Physics with Astrophysics student who attended the Conference for Undergraduate Women and Non-Binary Physicists (CUWiP) this year hosted by the University of Warwick Department of Physics.

On Saturday 5th July we will be gathering to celebrate 60 years of Physics at the University of Warwick. All current staff and students, former staff members and alumni are invited to come along and get involved in a day of talks, demonstrations and tours.

Gleb Berloff, 3rd year undergraduate student studying Physics with Astrophysics, submitted an entry to the Posters in Parliament event, based on activity cycles in Sun-like stars. The opportunity was advertised through IATL and included a tour of the House of Lords and Westminster Hall, a workshop titled ‘Get your voice heard in UK Parliament’ followed by the Student Research Poster Exhibition in the afternoon.

Wednesday 8th January marked the 10th anniversary of the Warwick Physics Society weekly event, PhysCafé, an event which aims to display to students some of the many options open to them once they have graduated with their Physics degree. The event has seen many different speakers, from patent lawyers to authors, company founders to bankers, and, of course, Warwick’s very own research staff.

We are excited to announce the 2025 Conference for Undergraduate Women and Non-binary Physicists will be hosted by the Department of Physics at the University of Warwick on the outskirts of Coventry.

Applications are now closed.

We are pleased to welcome all undergraduates joining us this autumn.
