COMPOS is a programme for STEM-talented students in Years 10-12 (and returning students in Year 13) who want to push their understanding beyond the school curriculum in both physics and maths. UK state-school students receive a full bursary to participate.
Follow-Along Programme Registration Open
Registration is open to participate in the COMPOS Follow-Along Programme. This free-to-everyone programme runs alongside the main COMPOS course and allows participants to follow-along at their own pace.
