I am Christine Stokes, and I graduated from UCLan with July 2011 with an MPhys in Physics. During my time at UCLan I learned a lot through the lectures provided but probably more so from the many opportunities I was provided whilst a part of the computational physics group.

The lectures provided me with a fundamental understanding of many topics in Physics, such as electricity and magnetism, quantum and statistical mechanics and derivation of theoretical equations. As the classes were small, the class dynamic was more group discussions which for me personally was a good way to learn. The lectures were always helpful whenever any area was of difficult to understand and were always happy to arrange to see me outside of class to go over things again.

As mentioned above a lot more of experience came from joining the computational physics group. I was awarded an internship within the…
