Description
This session will showcase the physics, astronomy and planetary science curriculum at the OU – including the different modules that we offer and the various degree programmes that students can fo...llow to pursue their interests. The module choices at Levels 1, 2 and 3 will be described. You'll see a demonstration of how physics and astronomy students are able to carry out practical science during their studies, using facilities from the OpenSTEM laboratories, and in particular our robotic radio telescope in Milton Keynes and our robotic optical telescopes in Tenerife. You will also see the links between our research and our teaching and have a tour of two of our research laboratories on campus, followed by a link-up with an exhibit we’re currently running at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition.
