Welcome to the University of Manchester Particle Physics Masterclass 2026!
Registration is not yet open - check back mid-February.
Requests are not guaranteed until you receive an email confirming participation. We will operate a first-come first-served waiting list system for requests arriving after we reach maximum expected capacity, while requested student numbers are confirmed.
The Particle Physics Masterclass is a one-day event specifically designed for sixth form students and their teachers and run at the University of Manchester by practising researchers from our Particle Physics Group. The nationwide programme of Masterclasses began in 1997 and has proved to be stimulating and informative for thousands of students and hundreds of schools. This event is primarily intended for those students taking modules which include particle physics at 'A' or 'AS' level, but is also open to any physics student or teacher interested in studying or teaching the subject. The Masterclass will consist of a mixture of talks given by researchers in the Particle Physics Group and hands-on practical sessions.
Our next Masterclass will be held on Monday 13th April 2025 at the Department of Physics and Astronomy's Schuster Laboratory.
