Engineering, Maths & Physics Society
The student-led Engineering, Maths, and Physics Society has returned this term and is open to all students in Year 12 and 13, we meet fortnightly on Tuesdays in Room 47.
The Engineering, Maths, and Physics Society (EMPsoc) is a great way to explore a subject into greater depth. Although one of the primary aims of the society is to help prepare students for university courses in Maths, Physics and Engineering, this is overshadowed by our aim to spread knowledge and help students understand the enigmatic world in which we live. We look at topics that interests members of society, which are both part of the A-Level specification and are not. It’s a great way to learn about a subject you’re interested in in a non-textbook way, involving group discussions, debates, presentations, guest lecturers and much more. In previous years we have hosted many notable physicists and mathematicians and we hope that we can continue it into this year.
Maths and physics society is open to everyone, even if they don’t study the subject. As long as they are interested and wish to further their knowledge, anyone is welcome.

The Maths and Physics Society (MAPsoc) is a great way to explore a subject into greater depth. Although one of the primary aims of the society is to help prepare students for university courses in Maths, Physics and Engineering, this is overshadowed by our aim to spread knowledge and help students understand the enigmatic world in which we live. We look at topics, both part of and not part of the A-Level syllabuses, which interest members of the society. It’s a great way to learn about a subject you’re interested in in a non-textbook way, involving group discussions, debates, presentations, guest lecturers and much more.
In previous years, we have had visits from many notable mathematicians and physicists, such as Professor Arttu Rajantie, as well as a visit to the Cambridge Physics Centre to see a lecture by Dr Julia Riley and to look round the facilities. This society is not just for those who are exceptional and Maths and Physics.
Anyone can join, even if they don’t study either subject, providing they are interested and wish to further their knowledge.
