Study What You Love

Study What You Love

There are a mind-blowing 50,000 courses available at UK universities, with many of them in subjects the children will not have thought about, or in some cases even heard of! An interactive introduction to university study, this session gives an idea of the range of courses available and provides an opportunity for children to reflect on their own skills and strengths and try out two new subjects for themselves.

During the session they will work with current university students on hands-on Forensic Science and Archaeology activities. While excavating Mayan artefacts and using evidence, from fingerprints to strands of hair, to solve a crime, the children will also get chance to chat to students about their choice of subjects and think about the importance of studying what you love.
