Online Nuclear Physics Masterclasses

Join leading experts from around the world to explore cutting-edge research in nuclear physics. Explore topics from radiation and nuclear astrophysics, to fusion and medical physics. 

The nuclear physics masterclasses are free, curriculum-linked courses about cutting-edge research in Nuclear Physics and the applications of nuclear technologies. Masterclasses are available for pre-16 (GCSE or equivalent) and post-16 (A-level or equivalent) students.  

Facilitated runs, which take place annually, allow participants to ask questions to experts live during the weekly webinar and get help throughout the programme on an online forum.

Teachers can also access the materials at any time for use with their classes.
