About PhySoc

The Physics Society, or PhySoc, is one of the largest student societies at Imperial College with approximately 800 undergraduate and 460 postgraduate members, the majority of whom are studying physics. We are a not-for-profit organisation under the umbrella of the Imperial College Union.

Our aims

During the course of the academic year we aim to:

  • Provide information about opportunities in sectors of interest to physics students, particularly regarding networking, work placements, internships or research opportunities.
  • Hold a variety of social events, career-oriented events, skill workshops and trips to world-class research facilities, ensuring all the while to give our members something unique.
  • Bring together undergraduate and postgraduate students, lecturers and other staff in the research groups to encourage students to build their networks around college.
