Introducing PhySoc: Our Physics Society

University of Leicester’s Physics Society (PhySoc) is a student group that aims to foster an active social side to the Physics degree course with lots of social and academic events throughout the year.

We encourage current students of the department as well as any members of the university with a passion for the subject to check us out.

Over the course of the year we will be running a wide range of events (all COVID-19 safe) that anyone and everyone can enjoy.

Coffee mornings are an hour long virtual get together that aims to give provide a stress-free environment for lighthearted discussion, built around the idea that sometimes all you need is a cup of tea and a chat
A range of extra-circular lectures / talks that aim to give members a fun way to explore subjects they won’t hear about anywhere else. This includes some of the faces you will see around the department as well as some outside sources from industry
Virtual quizzes and game nights run over discord that will be most like the events classically run by PhySoc. This has always been a great way to relax after a long day of lectures and labs and allows member to make friends outside of the learning environment
There is a possibility that we may be able to run our larger events towards the end of the year. This includes the Physoc Ball – a formal event where students and lectures get together for a 3 course meal, awards and dancing, and our international trip.

There is also a chance for you to get your hands on PhySoc merch, some of which will be limited edition and designed by you. This is a great way to feel part of the physics community and show off your degree when you get back home.

If you would like to get in touch with us, please head over to our social media and drop one of us a message or send us an email. We would love to hear from you!
