Outreach
Through our outreach events and resources, PPD shares the excitement of discovery and world-class science with students, teachers, and members of the public. From student masterclasses and coding workshops to public access days and career insights, PPD strives to make particle physics accessible, engaging, and fun for all.
Annual Particle Physics Masterclass
Our annual Particle Physics Masterclasses give students hands-on experience with real LHC data, talks from PPD researchers, and tours of world-class facilities. Designed primarily for students taking ‘A’ or ‘AS’ level physics modules, the masterclasses are also open to any physics student or teacher interested in exploring particle physics.
Our seminars
Stay at the forefront of particle physics with weekly PPD seminars, featuring the latest research, discoveries, and ideas from our scientists and international collaborators. Open to researchers, students, and anyone curious about the science shaping our understanding of the Universe.
Our work experience and studentships
From work experience to summer placements and PhD studentships, PPD offers a wide variety of careers opportunities to support the next generation of scientists in the early stages of their careers.
Outreach at Boulby
At the Boulby Underground Laboratory, located 1.1 km beneath Boulby Mine, we bring the excitement of deep underground science to classrooms, communities and curious minds across the UK. As one of the few facilities worldwide capable of ultra-low background research, Boulby advances particle physics, dark matter detection, environmental science and quantum technologies.
Inspiring the next generation of scientists
PPD brings science to life for students through masterclasses, workshops, coding activities, and facility tours – fostering curiosity for particle physics in the next generation of scientists.
Working with schools
Dive deeper into the world of particle physics with resources for teachers and students of all ages.
Coding for particle physics
PPD provides resources and online workshops to build skills in coding and data analysis for particle physics, supporting students to reach their full potential.
