Physics

Intended for

High school students with an interest for Physics.

The web class

This webclass will give you an introduction to nanotechnology. In this field of science materials and systems are manipulated on a nanometer scale. In four weeks you will learn about the wonderful world of nanotechnology where gold particles can have several different colors, drops can move uphill and cancerous cells can be radiated from within the body.

This webclass is offered in English, but questions can be submitted in either English or Dutch.

Student Workload and Awarding

You can earn credits comparable to a workload of 10 hours and will receive a certificate if you do the practical assignments sufficiently every week. The fourth week contains a final assignment that will be graded. It is possible to use this course for credits at your school, but you have to arrange this with your school yourself. You can for example ask your teacher to join this web class, so he/she can keep up with your accomplishments.

Studying Physics

This course gives a good impression of the diversity of the degree programme of Physics. These web classes offer a short introduction to the actual Physics education. We will introduce you to the varying subjects which Physics students deal with during their study time.
