Working with Schools

We offer many programmes and activities for both primary and secondary school pupils and their teachers, from undergraduate student placements to our annual Schools' Science Festival.

Science into Schools

Science into Schools is a series of Modules offered across the Faculty to third year undergraduates. A primary aim of the module is to develop key skills in the student and to offer an early taste of teaching science to those interested in pursuing it as a career or for other career pathways.
