Interactive 'Taster' Lectures
These lectures are one-off events designed to give school and college pupils a taster of a university lecture. They are combined with general information and advice about studying at university.
Teaching school children has been one of the most rewarding experiences for me at university.The children quickly became engaged in the lesson and there were some fantastic debates about the death penalty, terrorism and stop and search
