About
Founded in 2004, the Royal Holloway Physics Society is an Institute of Physics (IOP) Gold Affiliated student departmental society for physics students at Royal Holloway. Students of Physics at Royal Holloway automatically gain free membership to this illustrious society when they enrol!
We exist to support our members’ academic achievement, social interactions, and physical and mental welfare. Therefore, we encourage participation and any contribution – whether you want to help run the society, organise social events or just attend them, we’re always on the lookout for new talent.
Every year we have a variety of events planned, these include our annual Pub Crawl, traditional Christmas meal and Easter ball, and our British Science Week lecture series!
We look forward to seeing you at our events. If you want to get involved, contact us at enquiries.physoc@gmail.com or at our social media accounts at www.linktr.ee/rhulphysoc

What we do
The President is the figurehead of the society and it falls on them to have a dream for the RHPS at Royal Holloway, a mission to achieve, to maintain his/her committee and steer them toward maximum fun for all Physics students.
The Vice-President is in charge of all communications to the community including monthly emails, maintenance of the Facebook page, taking photos of all the events and making posters.
The Social Secretary (a.k.a Fun Master) thinks up new ideas for drinks, socials, new games, dress-up themes and discussion topics and makes sure they happen.
The Head of Astronomy consults with the department about the use of the telescope dome and is generally in the know about important astronomical events so that we can get a team up to the roof to watch it.
We also have a Postgraduate Rep as we don’t want our postgraduate students to feel excluded from the society. In fact, it’s quite the opposite as this position is a great opportunity to help boost the prestige of postgraduate research at Royal Holloway and to communicate with the wider Royal Holloway physics community. Join in and let us know how we can help you make things happen.
