With a focus on creating a strong supply of scientists, engineers and technologists help to boost the UK economy it's even more important to make students aware of the different opportunities available to them. These experience days have been designed to give students the chance to experience what studying a STEM subject at university could be like. It'll encourage them to think about subjects they might not usually consider and challenge them through two days of activities and interactive sessions.
Students must choose a different taster session for each of the days. They can choose from:
Tuesday 26 March

- biology, forensics and zoology
- electrical engineering
- geography
