Welcome to the University of Manchester Particle Physics Masterclass 2022!

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 Wednesday 30th March 2022 at the Department of Physics and Astronomy's Schuster Laboratory.
