Science is providing the key for some of humanity's most pressing issues. Your students will develop practical and analytical skills through our events, and experience our new multi-million pound Verena Holmes STEM building. 

Requisite skills for entering the science industry will be highlighted, alongside insights to potential careers. Our events can take place at the University and some at your school or college. 

To allow enough time for us to put everything in place for these events we ask for a minimum of 5 weeks notice from receiving the booking request to your 1st preference date of activity.
