Engineering and Physical Sciences Outreach Events

The College of Engineering and Physical Sciences organises annual events for school students to come on to campus and learn about our subjects.

These events cover the wide variety of subjects on offer within the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences. Individual Schools and Departments also organise events about their own subjects.
