Nuclear Physics Masterclass programme
Nuclear Physics Masterclasses are one-day events hosted by nuclear physics groups at universities and laboratories across the country.
They are aimed at students taking nuclear physics modules at AS or A level, but are open to any student interested in studying nuclear physics. Some universities also run days specifically for GCSE students.
The different masterclasses include a selection of the following activities run by nuclear physicists:
- lectures
- hands-on workshops
- computer sessions
- laboratory tours
- radiation experiments
- Lego activities.
Every masterclass is slightly different, but all provide excellent support for nuclear physics in the curriculum and deliver a fascinating insight into this exciting field of physics.
There are currently no events scheduled for 2022.

Outreach talks
UK nuclear physicists give outreach talks which are aimed at a wide variety of audiences including students, teachers, astronomical societies and other societies, and the public.
The talks focus on a range of subjects including:
- nuclear energy
- nuclear and particle physics
- medical imaging
- superheavy elements.
Nuclear physics outreach events take place throughout the year across the UK.
Find out what your nearest nuclear physics group is doing or invite a speaker to your school.
