Professional Development
VCE Lectures
Lectures have been arranged to assist your students in years 11 and 12 of VCE Physics. The topics are relevant to the VCE Study Design, and practising physicists have agreed to deliver them. The lectures, of about 1 hour duration, will be held on Thursdays at 6 pm in the Laby Theatre of the School of Physics. Some light refreshments will be available. We hope that you will encourage students from your school to attend.
See here for more details.
July Lectures program
Our free public lectures on fundamental questions in physics and advances in current research are held every Friday night in July at 8pm. No need to book but we suggest that you come early to secure a seat as these lectures given by our staff are very popular.
Societies
The School of Physics actively encourages women in the undergraduate and postgraduate physics communities …Women in School of Physics (under construction)
