Fancy a taste of uni research? Join the University of Leeds Year 12 Physics Work Experience Week: explore labs, build a research poster with a postgraduate mentor, present at a conference-style session and boost your university and STEM skills.
The University of Leeds STEM Outreach Team runs a Year 12 Physics Work Experience Week from Monday 13 to Friday 17 July 2026. The week gives students a taste of working in an academic, research-based university through workshops, lab sessions and a group research project guided by a postgraduate researcher.
Participants will work in pairs to develop a research poster around one of the School's five research areas, present at a conference-style poster session, attend lectures, perform hands-on lab experiments, and take part in skill-building workshops and talks to help with preparations for Year 13. The programme is non-residential; students must commute daily and be available for the full programme each day.
