Writing on blackboards here and there, a door that says \u2018Danger! 14,000 Volts,\u2019 and labs with endless rows of electronic equipment. It does seem like the natural habitat of a mad scientist – and it sure makes you want to delve deeper into your studies and learn new things about Physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018mad scientists,\u2019 however, are luckily not that mad. Once you arrive, you quite quickly get in touch with many members of the academic staff. Everyone is very supportive, friendly, and passionate about what they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Physics has what they call an \u2018open-door policy.\u2019 This means that you can knock on a tutor’s door at any time, and if they\u2019re not busy, you can come in. Contrary to many places where \u2018office hours\u2019 are the only times you get to talk to staff in person, this policy makes it a lot more flexible for us students. Most students use this policy to get in touch with lecturers when there is something they haven\u2019t quite understood, or to seek out support for career planning or anything that has to do with their degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PhysFest<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you ask the staff about their research, be prepared for small bits of the \u2018mad scientist\u2019 kicking in. It is hard to stop them once they get started, and often bits slip into lectures as well. This is especially evident during the annual PhysFest, which is an event during Freshers’ Week, where first years and staff all come together over a drink, a slice of pizza, and a few games. Here, Richard Keesing<\/a> gives his infamous speech about Newton\u2019s apple tree, never leaving out any details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While PhysFest is an obvious way to mingle with your new coursemates, it can be daunting being in a new place where you don\u2019t really know anyone. That\u2019s where you just have to remember what you have probably been told many times by now: everyone is in the same boat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freshers’ Week<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

During Freshers’, there will be lots of introductory lectures and activities, and everyone will sit in those lecture halls next to someone they don\u2019t know. So say hi. Introduce yourself – the other person is probably glad you started the conversation. I did something very<\/b> cheesy, and read up on a bunch of Physics jokes. Then when I ran out of the usual questions (\u2018Where are you from?\u2019 \u2018What type of Physics degree are you doing?\u2019) I had something to carry on the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making friends<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Making friends on your course is a really good way to make it more enjoyable to go to lectures and get some studying done in between classes. Sometimes, the thought of that Monday 9.00am Maths lecture is not the most pleasant, but catching up with friends just before it starts is always something to look forward to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In between lectures, my friends and I always make a choice whether we\u2019re going to be productive or not. If we just want to have a chat, we go to the coffee shop in the adjoining building and relax for a bit. If deadlines are coming up, there are several student study spaces to use. And if you live on campus, you can also quickly pop home if you have free time during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Study spaces<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The university recently renovated the Physics library, and made a new student study space in one of the undergrad labs. These are good places for both individual study and group work. I especially use the study spaces to work on my Physics Practice Questions, or PPQs for short. These are weekly problems you hand in and get marked. It is not that many at a time, but you do them for all lecture modules. Basically, they keep you engaged with what you\u2019ve learnt in lectures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modules<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You can see on the web page for your course which modules you\u2019ll be doing through the years. I\u2019m currently in my second year, and looking forward to taking particle physics, electromagnetism, and more maths this term. In second and third year, you get to go into much more specific fields, and you start feeling more and more like a professional physicist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Careers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Despite the modules being very exciting (though Quantum Mechanics<\/em> at times very hard), I have recently also spent a lot of time thinking about careers. Having only ever had to think about \u2018what to do next\u2019 in terms of school and university, the real world seems awfully close. However, there are several people around to help you get to grips with it. They give talks, organise trips to careers fairs, give you feedback on your CV, send you internship suggestions, and hold mock job interviews, just to name a few. A month ago, I attended a mock assessment centre, to prepare for internship applications. They sometimes even send you opportunities for internships or jobs abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the whole of my first year, I barely made use of these opportunities. Maybe because I didn\u2019t know whether they were also for first years. The same goes for the study spaces, and it wasn\u2019t until recently that I came to a lecturer’s door unannounced with a query. But I realised that all those thingsare there for everybody. Staff want you to use them: it means you are engaged with your course. I would therefore recommend all incoming freshers to use these opportunities as much as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

By now, you should know a little more about what life is like in Physics. You don\u2019t have to be a \u2018mad scientist\u2019 to fit in, but I cannot guarantee you won\u2019t grow a little more mad about physics once starting your studies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
