Physics at Oxford for me is… What does it mean to you?
Capture it in an image and enter our Instagram photo competition to be in with a chance to win Blackwell’s vouchers.
What images can I send?
Anything that you can think of that says ’Oxford physics’ to you! A class, a building, an instrument, studying, a library, fun with friends, memories, parking your bike, taking the bus, whatever reflects your time here in Oxford studying physics. Bear in mind potential data protection issues, so please do not include other people or other people’s work without their written consent.
