Headstart at Oxford provides the opportunity to taste undergraduate life with lectures, experimental work and projects in the University's Engineering Science Department, where students will experience social life based on one of the University's colleges.
Topics expected to be included are:
- Civil engineering: design, build and testing of a structure
- Fluid mechanics: see interesting things happen when water flows at high speed
- Properties of modern materials
- Electronics: build and test an electronic circuit
- Optoelectronics: see signals go down an optical fibre
- Robotics: learn to write a control program for a robot
In addition, there are visits to a local industrial company, opportunities to experience the University's facilities, and a design competition.
