Programmes for Physicists

The Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Centre, in collaboration with the University of Oxford Physics Department, is pleased to offer this bespoke programme as a short option within your curriculum.

The aim is to acquaint second and third-year undergraduate physics students with the knowledge and skills for transforming ideas and inventions into scalable businesses.

The programme will challenge you to combine your academic knowledge with a practical perspective on its application in the marketplace, thinking about bringing science to customers in the marketplace. During the programme, you will learn from expert start-up facilitators, ex-Physicists turned entrepreneurs, industry experts, marketing and management and senior faculty from Saïd Business School.

Time commitment

Seven sessions (on Wednesdays and Fridays) in the first four weeks of Trinity term 2024.

This initiative is uniquely designed to bridge the gap between scientific research in physics and entrepreneurship. The programme, in collaboration with the Physics Department, is tailored for those within the University of Oxford physics community, from students to research staff, who are keen to explore the entrepreneurial potential of their research and develop the skills needed to bring innovative ideas to market.

Time commitment

Five sessions and three panel discussions every Thursday over five weeks from mid-Trinity term.
