The Alumni Relations Office exists to nurture and develop long lasting relationships between students, staff and friends of the Department of Physics. We aim to run events and programmes that create opportunities for networking and relationships that keep growing beyond graduation day. Follow the Department on our social media accounts to engage in the conversation.
Once a physicist, always a physicist… We are incredibly proud of our alumni community and we do everything we can to celebrate that special relationship. Please get in touch with ideas, feedback or just to say hello!
