Subject Specific Outreach

We offer a range of activities and events on and off campus aimed at Key Stage 5 students. All of our opportunities are designed to enrich the curriculum and support schools and colleges in meeting the Gatsby Benchmarks. Our taster days are half-day or full-day and designed to showcase the subject area your students are passionate about, allowing them to see our facilities and dive into a subject taster.

We can provide a variety of talks, masterclasses, and mini-lectures that bring the subject to life and help your students understand some of the projects and real-world challenges our academics are currently working on. These sessions can be delivered as part of a campus visit, in person within your school or college, or virtually throughout the year.

Please click on a subject area to find out what we offer for each subject.

Alternatively, if you have a variety of subjects that your students are interested in, then why not visit us for either our UK University Search Exhibition and Taster Day, or our Schools and Colleges Open Day.
