Events for schools
Every year we create events to engage our younger audience with the many exciting subjects they could learn at university.
All our presenters have only one objective - to pass on the enjoyment and enthusiasm they have for their subject.
Built on our excellent scientific research and teaching skills, our events range from shows and presentations to workshops and hands-on activities.
