General events and taster days
We offer a range of general events for primary, secondary and college students. These consist of subject taster days and expert classes where students can visit the campus and take part in interactive lectures and workshops related to subjects they are interested in.
We offer activities in a range of subjects including engineering, sports science, social science, languages, maths, chemistry and biology. These are designed to complement the school curriculum as well as inspiring pupils about the subject and finding out how it might lead to a future career. They have the opportunity to work with staff and current students and get to use facilities they cannot access at school.
These events are open to any school able to identify a cohort of pupils that meets one or more of the widening participation criteria listed below and have the academic potential to achieve A/B grades in GCSE/A Level.
