Physics Society
Physics Society is an academic, student-run society, open to all physics students at the University of Southampton, though we are proud to welcome all students with an interest in physics, from all courses!
The Physics Society (Physoc) is an academic society for students with an interest in physics. We organise physics-related academic & careers talks, mentoring schemes, and outreach programmes.
If that isn't your thing, we also organise regular socials, sports events and more, in order to ensure that our members enjoy and make the most of their time at university.
Come join us at one of our events! Membership is always free, and there's no commitment!
