Undergraduate students were awarded prizes which was followed by a time of socializing with current lecturers and post graduate students. The department continues to encourage students to exceed their potential, while stirring their interest in the field of Physics through participation in this initiative.

The Physics Honours Society was created with the intention of motivating Physics students to aim higher and achieve more. In addition to academic achievement, the Physics Honours Society seeks to expose students to research fields and real world applications of classroom knowledge through summer internships, research assistantships and inclusion in research meetings, conferences and colloquiums.
