Events and engagement opportunities
Events are a fantastic opportunity for students across all age groups to interact with various aspects of the university. We run many initiatives and event series including mentoring and masterclasses, to give students a flavour of university life and study.
Masterclasses
Every year, we run a series of masterclasses for students in Years 8 to 13 to offer real insights into university study, particular topics, and subjects, and stimulate curiosity and engagement
Event themes can cover:
- Arts and Humanities
- Life, Environmental and Social Sciences
- Medical and Dental Sciences
- Science and Technology
Raising Aspirations in Secondary Education (RAISE)
The RAISE programme is a range of fun, interactive lectures, workshops, and competitive quizzes for students in Years 7 to 11. They are designed to motivate and inspire students around particular subjects, and in the long term raise achievement at GCSE.
Year 12 Discovery Day
This on-campus event gives students the chance to explore university study, experience campus life and take part in two subject taster sessions linked to their degree and A Level interests. The day helps students consider their options, learn what it’s like to study at a research‑intensive university and start planning their next steps after sixth form.
School and campus visits
We can visit your school or college to lead a range of events that aim to provide information, advice, and guidance to students and parents.
Open Days
Visit our campus on an undergraduate Open Day and discover why our students love to study here.
