The Science Revision Weekend (SRW) is an annual event which offers Open University science students an opportunity to
revise their course material and prepare for the October exams, or to prepare for courses starting in October.
Tuition and guidance is provided by OU tutors in a traditional classroom environment.
It consists of a series of separate course-specific sessions running in parallel over a weekend, from Friday evening
to Sunday afternoon. There are nine 1.5 hour revision sessions for each of a number of courses, and
seven 1.5 hour preparation sessions for two second level courses.

2012 event
The 2012 Science Revision Weekend will be held on the weekend of 21-23 September 2012, at Yarnfield Park Conference
Centre, Staffordshire. More details will be posted in early 2012.
Who we are
The SRW is run by a small group of volunteers. It has no formal connection with the Open University or any other official body; it is
informally supported by the OU, OUCS (the OU Chemistry Society) and Fusion (the OU Physics & Astronomy Society) but is entirely separate from all these
bodies. We have a very small financial reserve, but no funding other than the fees students pay in order to attend the event.
In order to protect volunteers from personal liability, the current organising committee have registered a not-for-profit company to run the event,
Science Revision Ltd, and obtained charitable status.
It is hoped that our new charitable status will allow us to reduce the cost to students.
